I have a problem with the metric of the screws. In Spain is not
available the us or uk screw in inchess. Here all metrics are S.I. (or
MKS). I need purchase in amazon a new set of screws of the base plastic
plate of my ETX-125, but I don't know the standard size in inches. Could
someone tell me the metric of this screws (diameter and length).

Thank for your help.

The folks who built Terabeam optical networks
used "gutted" OTA's of 125's.
(they were using infrared, so the optics were tweaked
for the longer wavelengths).

You might do web-searches with "terabeam" among the
topics...

good luck

We would like to gut the OTA of our etx-125.  We will be putting our own
equipment inside.  Does anyone have the actual dimensions or mechanical
drawings of the OTA?  Also, if anyone has ever gutted an ETX-125 OTA, 
are there any detailed instructions/pictures of the procedures
available?

Any info on the above request would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks:
 Ron Frelin

Mike here: I haven't see that info. Of course, once you gut the OTA it wlll be easy for you to measure it.
