Sun-damaged refractor fell apart. Are they always sold with the reflector? Mine snapped in and was 9" across at the top.

I also needed just the refractor, but couldn't find one anywhere. So, I bought this refractor with the reflector attached and it worked out fine. It was easy to put on. Your old reflector comes off with a couple of screws. This reflector/refractor should line up with the holes in your light. If not, you can drill holes in this reflector to match your holes. The refractor is attached permanently to the reflector. It's been a while since I put the new one on, but I,m pretty sure the top diameter of the reflector was about 5". Thats the measurement you need to be concerned with. This should fit your light Brian, and a simple job. I also needed just the refractor, but couldn't find one anywhere.

yes ; I did get a new plastic refractor with the kit. The base and plastic were not interchangeable I did have to put different holes and screws through the metal base, ( which was easy) because the number of screw holes or the diameter was not the same. You will never beat this price (or even come close) by getting in your car and going to outlet stores. The best store I found had a 900% markup.

It is the best price for the unit. It was easy to install. And it was a good idea to replace the reflector and the refractor. Thinking of getting a spare to keep as the sun is really hard on equipment here.

It does - with some clever assembly. I mounted it on the wide-angle reflector with the umbrella mount on top. It's not earthquake save, but it will hold if you're careful. A better fit would be a slightly larger reflector with a less wide angle, but yeah, it does work.

I had this happen in my warehouse entrance. I ended up re-positioning the reflector and the problem went away. Maybe give that a shot?

Mine got bent and now opens partially then I open it with my finger. Took it to canon and they said it's not covered. Couldn't repair it either b/c lens cap is part of the entire lens. Offered me a refurb for 550. I said no thanks. Still using it but it's a pain.

i would just get some reflector tape, b/c there is little surface area to work with

It appears Lenser does not sell replacement parts. They hold onto a 5 year warranty... so if you got it within that time they may fix it for you for free... Give them a call. I looked all over the place for you and could not come up with any parts anywhere... not even broken lights to harvest parts.. sorry.

search online for the manual...that shows a complete assembly...put in the full model name "Celestron 31042 AstroMaster 114 EQ Reflector Telescope" followed by the word manual in your search engine, that should help

Not one that comes with the telescope, Chen. Most telescopes do not come with a transport bag or case. However, you can use the box it comes in or what I would do is buy a canvas bag and place the styrafoam from the box it comes in into the bag and this should secure and protect the telescope. One thing about Refractor telescopes as opposed to refelctors is that they can take quite a bit of jolting and rough treatment without loss of alignment so I think you will be okay.

Hi. I am not sure. Funny you asked this because I had received one broken the first delivery. The top shade was broken also. I think maybe try normande directly or a store like home.aybe amazon could direct you too.

The screws that came with my db4e also seemed too short. After calling the factory, I found out that some of these units had left the factory with a manufacturing defect. If you call Antennas Direct, they will either ship you a new reflector (the wire mesh part), or you can drill it out yourself, so the sleeve will slide down the bolt into the reflector pole. I drilled mine out myself. Call them for the information you need at 1-877-825-5572, and they will help you.

I took mine apart last night and the bulb, reflector and spring are all 1 piece. They show a replacement bulb in the manual but no led replacement. It may be easier to purchase one that has the led light in it unless utg or someone else makes a conversion kit.

No never had a problem with the new style hinges on Sun System lights. Not one reflector has been sent back because of stripped screws. Thanks

That tripod is worthless. I bought another larger one that telescopes from Midway for no too much money. Scope works well.

It probably did but in my case, it was a gift without receipt. I never thought it was going to fall apart & break in such a short time. Save yourself the trouble, get a good quality scope or even binoculars. Don't expect to see planets & craters on the moon.Good luck

You could do it with the right counter weight in place and plenty of duct tape. I would not trust this construction with anything heavier than a counter weighted large reflector.

I am looking for the dome for the Favor wave model 20007 anybody know where I can get one mine is cracked.

I think a refractor telescope is hard to use and hard to see objects other than a bright moon. I would suggest looking into a reflector telescope instead. As far as the telescope itself, I think it is well built and good quality. It was just hard for our 9 yr old to use...and hard for me too.
