I have an old Televue Genesis & I love it, but the old focuser could be a bit more precise. Does Moonlite (or anyone else) make a replacement? thank you, Bill

Feathertouch has a focuser of the TV scopes.

Why not call Televue about rebuilding it? There are shims for the pinon gear and pads around the draw tube that I'm pretty sure can be replaced. The focuser can easily be removed and sent up without the tube.
This way you keep the honey all stock.
Just my $.02

Thank your for responses. I'll call Televue in the morning. I'll do some research on the feathertouch as well.
