Help on locating part for Orion 80mm short tube
Orion support won't help because I'm not the original owner and can't tell them the date / purchaser; I got it used years ago.
Can you help me find this part or a substitute?

I'm missing the piece that threads onto the screw of the focuser barrel--just the end piece where the eyepiece attaches with the thumbscrew. If you imagine unscrewing the piece I have circled, which is the piece that accepts the eyepiece, that's what I'm missing.

If so, does the barrel need to have male or female threads?
