Bad Focuser

My 6" newtonian came with a 1.25 R&P focuser. There is quite a bit of anoying "waggle" in this focuser. I would like to replace it with a crawford style focuser. I see many 2" crawfords, but havn't seen a 1.25" one.
1. Does anybody know of a source for 1.25" crawfords?
2. Would putting a 2" on my scope obstruct too much of the light path, thereby reducing contrast to an unacceptable level?

Thanks!

Look here for 1.25"

Hi Darryl

I agree the JMI is a great focuser. While waiting for it to arrive you can improve the cheap plastic one in two ways. First if you put some teflon tape or even scotch tape on the focuser tube it will remove alot of tube slop. Second if you add some vaseline to the rack it will eliminate a lot of the slop to the rack. Once you do this wipe all the access off so you don't get any on your eyepieces.

Good luck

JMI has them for around $100. Also try University Optics.
