10:1 Crayford Focuser for 12' GSO Dob

Hey all

I'm looking at upgrading my single speed focuser to one with a 10:1 fine tune...

Not particularly into AP so don't see the need to splash mega-bucks into a moonlite or simillar, just after a bare-basic GSO or equivalent that's a bit easier to fine tune than the single speed.

If anyone has one laying around, I'm willing to pay all costs. They're bout $120 new from Bintel but thought I'd try here first..

Thanks in advance,
Davin

If you are just wanting to stick with GSO, you can ask Bintel whether they can order the 10:1 module in for you - you just get the extra knob, with a gearing and a shaft - very simple to fit. I think they are about $50
