Tension handles

Hey guys,

Not sure if this is in the right section. But, I have a Saxton 10" dob, and the base it comes with has two handles and you tighten one to increase the tension and hold the scope still. Although, most of the time, once I've tightened it, it will slowly drop down. It's a real pain if I'm trying to show other people things, or if I'm lining up the finder scope.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue or something similar, and what have you done to fix it?

I'd rather not buy a new base as I'm saving my coin for a holiday at the moment, so modifications to this base would be preferred. Also, If someone else has the same scope and mount, any other mods or little tips would be great.

Cheers,
Andrew
