Wanted: 1'' to 1.25'' diagonal adapter

Does anyone have a diagonal adapter that they can sell me which would enable me to use my 1.25'' eyepieces from a 1'' focusser? I had one but I seem to have misplaced or lost it, and I cannot find it ANYWHERE! And now my scope has become a mere paperweight. PLEASE help me!

hello

Thank you!!!!!! I assume you can then put a normal 1.25'' diagonal in front of it and then use normal eyepieces with them. If so, let's arrange postage.

If it helps ya out, Np's

Lemme locate it, it's prolly in one of Jake's toy boxes. I'll post a pic of it so
you can see what I have. If it's what your after or can get you by until you
can find a better alternative. I post it to you. It's an adaptor off a Tasco
60mm refractor. But we never used the adaptor we just slot the diagonal
straight in. The adpaptor I have will take a 1.25" ep so it should take your
diagonal, albeit with possibly some vigetting. Also the set screw is missing so
you will have to redrill and replace the set screw, which shouldn't be too
hard, it's made of plastic.

regards,CS

Hey Castor,

Here's a pic, you can place a 1.25" ep in the large end, the smaller end
might measure a lil small for you it's outer radius measure 15/16th or a
wisker under 24mm.

Although the pictures dont show it there is a hole for a set screw. From
memory it was lost after I tightened an ep in it and stripped the thread.

If it's any good to you, pm me where you want me to post it and I'll send
it off next time I'm in town, prolly Tuesday or Wednesday.

regards,CS
