+Stu Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) Hi all. I want to change the finder shoe on my Meade Mak, but to do that I need to get to the bolts inside the tube. Am I best off just buying/making an adapter rather than opening it up? Edited February 17 by Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 An adaptor would be a good move, you may want to sell the OTA at some point? +Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to think a 3D printer might be a good idea. I'd best get some overtime in at work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightspore Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 How about a Rigel QuikFinder? May need a hairdryer to remove the stand (held on by a glue strip). 70's tech, but it works. +RonC and +Stu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stu Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 (edited) @NightsporeGot one of them, one of my fave bits of kit. The OTA has an ES type finder bracket, all my bits have vixen fittings. I don't think it'll be too hard to knock up an adapter. Edited February 17 by Stu Nightspore and +RonC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
