Meade ETX125 Declination or Alt Knob
Description
This is a replacement for the Declination or Alt knob on the Meade ETX125 telescope. I designed the knob using FreeCad. My original knob had a brass insert and 10-24 bolt assembly that moved freely within the knob, rendering it impossible to tighten the knob. This version requires a 1.25" hex head cap bolt with 10-24 thread (I used a black bolt), and a matching metal/nylon lock nut which is hidden, so color doesn't matter. You should be able to find both parts at your local hardware/home improvement store or online. I consider this is version more robust than the original with almost no chance of the same type of failure exhibited by the original part.
