Broken tripod for edu science telescope

You can buy a photo tripod and attach the tube to the tripod. You may need to visit a local hardware store to find the correct mounting bolts.

That scope is sold by Toys R Us -- as far as I know they DO NOT sell replacement parts.

Sorry

Any photo tripod would work if you can attach the tube. Toys R us do not provide any instruction manual, and they do not sell parts.

We receive the most complaints on this brand. It is really a TOY telescope. Sorry.

I have reflector telescope 672 power and im missing some pieces. I need to get one tripod leg, all the screws to the telescope and the finderscope. I needed to find out how to go about getting these...

It's not worth hunting down that many parts for that small telescope. You cannot just buy a tripod leg-- you must buy the entire tripod. Eyepieces cost at least $30 each-- and a finderscope at least another $30-$40.

Locate another complete telescope. It's not economical to repair that low cost small scope. Toys R Us who sell that brand do not furnish replacement parts.

Plastic part at end with "hook" on the leg of tripod is broken and despite trying at least three different types of super glues and epoxy I cannot repair it.

The tripod cannot be repaired unless you can find something at a hardware store. Toys R Us (they sell this scope) do not have any parts. A replacement tripod will cost more than the scope is worth. We receive more complaints about this telescope than just about any other brand.

Next time buy something like this:

Broken adjustment lock on tripod

Just go to any well stocked hardware store and buy a replacement bolt with a large head so you can tighten it by hand.

You can buy a small camera tripod which may work IF you attach the telescope tube to the tripod.
