    For a precision instrument like the Paramount ME or ME II, using factory-original hardware is critical for maintaining mechanical integrity and pointing accuracy.

  • What mounts is the Software Bisque Base Mounting Knob compatible with?

    This mounting knob is specifically designed as a direct replacement for the Software Bisque Paramount ME and Paramount ME II equatorial mounts. It is not compatible with other Paramount models like the MYT or MX+.

    Why is it important to use a genuine Software Bisque knob for my Paramount ME II mount?

    Using a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part guarantees that the materials, thread specifications, and dimensions are identical to the knobs that originally shipped with your mount. This eliminates any risk of improper fit, cross-threading, or insufficient clamping force that could compromise the stability and safety of your telescope.

    Does this product include one knob or a full set for the Paramount ME II/ME?

    This product includes one (1) replacement mounting knob. The Paramount ME and ME II mounts require multiple knobs to be fully secured; this item is intended to replace a single lost or damaged knob.

    What are the dimensions of this Paramount ME II/ME Base Mounting Knob?

    The overall dimensions of the knob are 4.5 × 12 × 4 inches, and it has a weight of 3 lbs. The size ensures it is easy to grip and tighten by hand, even when wearing gloves.

    I lost one mounting knob for my Paramount ME II while setting up in the field. Is this the correct replacement?

    Yes, this is the exact, factory-authorized part to replace a single knob lost during field setup or transport. Ordering this component will restore your mount to its original, complete condition.

    I'm building a permanent observatory for my Paramount ME. Is it a good idea to have a spare Base Mounting Knob on hand?

    Absolutely. While less likely to be lost in a permanent setup, having a spare on hand is inexpensive insurance against accidental damage or cross-threading. It ensures you have zero downtime if one of the primary knobs becomes compromised.
