Telescope knob


posted by Coach22 on Jun 13, 2008


The telescope knob used for adjusting the focus is comprised of the knob which connects via an allen screw to a threaded peice that connects to the telescope the knob portion I have but the piece of threaded screw is the one missing.
I have the same problem.

Still not enough information, but taking a stab at it, I'll assume you mean the pinion rod that goes between the focus knobs, and engages a gear rack on the focuser. There are locations where they can be purchased, and you would need to provide the OD and pitch (teeth per radian) to match.
Try: http://www.pinionrod.com/ as a source.
