The TS130 APO, has a few focuser options, and they are all very strong, with the 2.5" and 3" Rack and Pinion also used in other TS APOs. I have rhe 2.5" R&P on two of my APOs, and have never has a problem with them slipping when the correct TS motor focus adaptor is used.. Did you contact Teleskop-Express before you disassembled the focuser? They have an excellent service department. Your focus motor bar is a non-standard part for that focuser and it appears your using the wrong holes to secure the bar to the focuser body, this could be a problem. Was there a reason you could not use the standard TS motor focuser mounting bar?
