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

I thought my RA fine adjustment knob felt loose so I unscrewed the set
screw and removed the knob. Now I can't get it back on! There is a
thin vertical pin that the knob goes down over and the set screw
tightens against. The only problem is that the pin slides up and down
and I can't hold the pin up while placing the knob over it at the same
time.
I assume that the other end of this pin has a gear which meshes with the
RA train somehow. The pin also has a small cam around it, i guess for
feel while turning the knob. I've taken off the bottom base plate and
the top cover plate (LX-50) to see if there is access to the pin
assembly. No sign of the pin assembly. Any help would be appreciated.
