I looked at the focusing knob on my C14 and, also, pictures of older C14s and noticed that only mine has a thin long bolt coming out of the top of them and, also, a wider addition. The layer of cork between the addition and what may be the original is suggestive – for locking?
I’m wondering if the bolt stops the focus knob being wound fully clockwise. Will have a look tomorrow – I need to rebalance the scope anyway and the weather should be good.
EDIT: Work stopped me getting out and testing the scope before dark and now its rain through until Saturday….
