Hi all.
When I was observing the sun on my Coronado DS90, a bolt fell out and was loosely tightened.
If you tighten it too much, there will be no tilt, I need to correct the tilt at least a little bit.
I found two bolts that fit just right with this knurling from furniture and changed it a little.
I'll show you some pictures of how I did it.
Maybe it will come in handy.
Alexander.

Hi, Mark.
Looks like number 28 but I'm not 100% sure. but it works, it lightly I have it screwed on without force.
