This section covers the assembly instructions for your Ambassador telescope. Since some parts are heavy
(especially on the 80mm model), and you need to be careful not to scratch the brass finish, it is suggested that
you have two people work together to assemble the telescope. The various parts for the telescope are
wrapped with protective materials and please remove these carefully.
Each Ambassador comes in one box. The pieces in the box for all models are – optical tube with altazimuth
mount attached, three tripod legs, tripod accessory tray/brace, instruction manual.
In addition, the 80mm model has an eyepiece, erect image diagonal, erect image finderscope, and finderscope
brackets with mounting hardware.
You will need the following tools – small Phillips head screwdriver and two small crescent wrenches or
open- end/box-end wrenches of 16mm (5/8”).

1. Remove the three tripod legs - Figure 2-1 from the carton. The 50mm telescope legs are similar to the
80mm model but are slightly shorter in length and width.
2. Loosen (turn counterclockwise) the tripod leg lock knob near the bottom of the tripod – Figure 2-2, and
then pull the center wood piece out about 10” (254mm) which will make the assembly easier. Then
tighten the tripod leg lock knob. Do the same for the other two tripod legs. You can see what the top
of the tripod leg looks like in Figure 2-3.
3. Next, we will install the tripod accessory tray/brace to the tripod leg hinges -- Figure 2-4 shows an
image of the tripod leg hinge. Note that the hinge for the 80mm model (shown) has five holes as
shown but the 50mm has a long slot to use. The hinge on all three legs will face inward.
4. The accessory tray is shown in Figure 2-5 along with three wing nuts and three screws with washers.
The image shows the screws and washers removed from the wing nuts (they come with the screws and
washers attached so they don’t get lost but they need to be removed for assembly).
5. The accessory tray needs to be face up as shown and the wing nuts will be on top with the screw (with
washer attached) threaded into the wing nuts from the bottom of the accessory tray. You should insert
the wing nuts and screws/washers initially into the 2
nd
hole on the accessory tray (on the 80mm model)
from the tripod leg. On the 50mm model attach the screws/washers about mid way in the slot on the
tripod hinge. You can relocate the position of the mounting of the accessory tray to the hinge at a later
time if you desire.
