Subject: Bob's Knobs URL and Using Them with a Meade 14"


I bought some knobs for my 14" months ago, and finally decided to use them.
The little package contained no instructions, but maybe I overlooked them in
a larger shipment box. Maybe the URL has information on how to install them.
I couldn't easily find it with Google. It looks like I need to unscrew the
three inner screws on the corrector plate, and replace them with the new
screws. Knowing how to do this would be helpful.

Install ONE at a time... !

I did not try to Google for the wqebsite BUT I do not think you
really should have a problem finding it...and I know the directions
are there..

You will have to Collimate after the installation... BUT you will
really appreciate how much easier it is to use your fingers rather
then a screwdriver..especially in the dark....
