Flexi Focus cable for ETX-105

Hi All,

Firstly, I just want to say what a great site! I have been visiting this site for about a year (in my lunch breaks) and finally joined up about a month ago. It's great to see such a friendly community of people sharing and supporting each other.

I am in the hunt for a flexible focus cable for my ETX-105PE, similar to the Scopetronix "Flexi-Focus". I was informed by a Melbourne dealer that Scopetronix is now out of business.

Does anyone know of an Australian supplier for such a cable?

Thanks in advance.

If you can't find these here in Oz, there's plenty of regular eBay vendors for them. I've bought from 'grapplerone', whose service was fast and product excellent.

I bought one off eBay and the allen key they provided didn't fit the grub screw that it was supplied for which grips the original focuser Brilliant quality...not

Cheap though...$9.00 plus shipping.

Andrew, I purchased a flexible focuser from http://www.cncsupplyinc.com/ for my ETX125 a few weeks ago. Delivered quickly, good quality, works well, USD29.95. This is the one you want ... go for it!
