I need to purchase screw that attaches scope to window mount on a 78-4405

The mount has a 1/4-20 screw that fits most camera equipment. If you have the scope (spotting scope) it should have that hole in the bottom of the mounting ring. If the screw is missing from the window mount then most 1/4-20 tripod screws will work or you may substitute a cap screw and flat washer, to work with an Allen wrench for tightening.

Lost screw that attaches scope to bushnell window mount #78-4405

If the screw is standard, it is probably what's called a 1/4 x 20 screw. They only cost a few cents at your local hardware store (Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace, etc.). If it is proprietary, you may need to take the scope and the tripod to the hardware store and try a couple of sizes to see if anything fits.

Of course, you could also try bushnell's website to see if you can order parts.

The dovetail mounted scope (optical tube assembly) is smaller than the mounting block - with the mounting block surface top section flat while the scope peice is angled (?). I can tighten both the knob...

There are only two types of dovetail bars and saddles. A "Vixen style" and a "Losmandy style". One can be mistaken for the other. You probably have a Vixen style. tighten both knobs and you should be OK. Many dovetail bars have a screw hole in the end to place a bolt as a safety device if the bar should slip on the saddle -- the bolt would catch it and prevent the scope from falling off.

I recently bought a used bushnell reflector telescope that is missing a tripod mounting bracket and screw, can you please tell me where i can find one?

You cannot find parts for that very low cost telescope. You can buy a tripod but the cost will probably be more than you paid for the scope.

Here are tripods:

Next time do not waste your money on these types of telescopes. Instead save up and buy something like this:

The mount adapter part of the scope that attaches to the tripod has a screw missing (1/4 " metric) and it won't stay tight on the scope with just the large center screw. Where can I get a new screw? or...

Bring it in to your local hardware store (Ace, or Truevalue, etc.), generally one of those places will have just about any nut or bolt you need. Also apply a small amount of locktite before re-installing to screw, this will keep it from falling out.

Screwing camera onto tripod quick release

Usually the camcorder has a hole next to the mounting screwhole. The plastic nub fit into the unthreaded hole, the mounting screw screws into the threaded hole. The nub is to help prevent the camcorder from rotating while you are using it on the tripod.

Tripod screw

I once had an adaptor that would allow this kind of transition but it is odd that a Sony would have ASA threads instead of metric.

If you have a major camera shop (not Mall-wart) nearby they should have these.
If not, check with Ritz or Beach Camera.

As a last resort, the major chain 'home-improvement' stores may have 'wing screws' that could work.
