But if I recall correctly, the RA knob only worked in one direction. I could turn it to move the scope forward in its tracking, but turning it the opposite way had zero effect. There are scans of the original Mead manual online. If you can't find it via Google, message me and I'll send you my PDF copy.

Very nice review of a great work you did...Hi there! Very nice review of a great work you did!<br /><br />I'm the proud owner of the same scope. What i don't understand is how to use the 'R.A. override knob'. It's supposed to correct the automatic R.A. but the gear blocks any movement. Do you have to pull it out before turning?<br /><br />Thanks for any help!<br /><br />Bruno, Switzerland Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03671992082887440827noreply@blogger.com
