I have a Bushnell 78-9675 telescope with a broken tripod leg.
I checked Bushnell web site and they want the whole tripod sent to them for repair.
Does anyone know where i can get areplacement?

Hi

That's really your only practical option. These parts are fairly brand and model specific and, moreover, no one bothers to sell parts such as these as a separate item you can buy. Pretty much a waste of time trying to go around Bushnell. Sorry.

Used the crazy glue seems to be working.
My mistake was not using the lens tray to prevent the legs from spreading out.
rookie mistake
thanks
