I recently acquired a mint red tube Edmund 6 inch, f/6 reflector with the cream colored Edmund pedestal equatorial mount, also in mint condition. I have a problem, however, in getting the latitude to stay set. If anyone is familiar with the setup of these mounts, I'd appreciate any help. The mount has the large knob adjustment for latitude, however the 2 adjoining parts of the head have practically no friction between them and they slip. The previous owner knew nothing about the scope, but it seems there should be some type of lock washer that I'm missing. If anyone is familiar with the setup or know of any Edmund talk sites, I'd appreciate any input.
Thanks,
Dave
