We offer knobs for the Meade 14” f/10 (Item A) and f/8 (Item B) Schmidt-Cassegrain secondary with exposed collimation screws. These telescopes have six secondary screws. The three inner screws are for collimation. The three outer screws are for secondary disassembly, not collimation. We do not offer knobs for the very early Meade 14” f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with recessed factory collimation screws (Item C). Please use care to select the correct knobs for your telescope. Each knob set is different and they are not interchangeable. Price is for a complete set of knobs.

C. Meade 14” f/10 with 6-Screw Secondary and Recessed Factory Collimation Screws
Early Meade 14” f/10 SCTs have recessed collimation screws, as shown in the photograph. These headless set screws are located near the perimeter of the secondary and are accessed through notches in the cover plate. We do not offer knobs for these scopes because they would be in the light path.
