Beseler 45MXT turret repair

[Bill Kumpf]

The lens turret on my Beseler 45MXT wobbles. The center screw that holds the lens plate to the turret housing loosens when the lenses are rotated. The screw looks to be a replacement. What is the correct screw type and size required? are there any lock washers, etc used?

Thanks.

Beseler is in PA. Why not ask them?

I send them an email and waiting for an answer. Sometime this group provides answers and work around faster.

Sometimes, and not always correctly.

probably had a shoulder bolt. use some loc tite n screw it down to the prefered torque n let it set. that may help other than getting the correct screw.

Beseler's response to my question. I will wait longer................

"The Charles Beseler Company is currently closed due to the unfortunate COVID-19 pandemic."

There may also have been some bearings or washers in the assembly.
