While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

My RA drive has developed slop. Apperently the little spring that presses the worm against the gear has lost some of its force, as it cannot press the worm fully against the gear. Hence I want to take out the RA drive to replace the spring. It is not metric so I had to get an inch allen key set. But the particulary allan key for the bolts that hold the RA drive in place is not in the key set. Apparently the allen key is between the two sizes 1/8 and 5/32. Does anyone know the correct allen key size? My scope is from 1992, 8". As a last resort I can grind down a metric allan key, but I would rather like to get the rigth allan key.
