Might have to go the last option in the end Gary. Not really keen on the idea of having to rebuild half the scope to fit a focuser. However when I looked at the site the FTF2515 (the link I posted) was the one for the VC200L. I just can't see how it was going to be fitted unless it screwed directly to the existing focus tube and the it was then locked down????
Might just try to fit the Orion electric focuser I have to the existing r&p and see how it goes
Btw it does already have a 10:1 manual focuser attachment on it, just not happy with its action.
