Wobbly Meade LX90 Smartfinder

[Meadehead]

I'm having trouble aligning the smartfinder on my new LX90. I have to screw the vertical alignment screw in all the way down to get it near the target, then when I move the smartfinder around it tends to relocate ie I can feel it shifting horizontally a few mm enough to move the red dot out again. I want to remove the alignment screws to see if anything is loose but i'm afraid of breaking any wiring or having springs fling out. Anyone have any trouble with it?

I don't have any trouble with mine, I simply don't use it.... Wobbly is the nature of the beast, the smartfinder, particularly the first version, has to be the most flimsy and useless item meade has ever produced. If it's the early version you have to dismantle it for replacement of the battery, just watch out for the springs while you are taking the screws out.
