LX90 trouble! HELP! was created by Matthew C
HI guys, was just looking at the scope getting used to using it and i noticed the spin lock for the RA axis was loose! so i tried to tighten it but to no avail! IT CAME OFF! Its the 3 armed kind of handle to lock the axis at the base of the fork mount! ive been fiddling with it for the past hour but i cant get it back on and im getting worried :oops: .Also underneath the 'spin lock' there is a long screw for it to tighten on to. but its not completely circular! is this right? aswell i know there was something replaced in the gears with washers so the scope would lock onto the washers and not the other thing if ya get me! the washers are now near the top of the screw. Is this right?
HELP! I just hope i dont have to open the scope because i would have NO Clue what to do! Does anyone know how to fix this? i presumed it would be easy but like everything else with astronomy its not!
