Default Helical focuser

Is there a helical focuser similar to Orion's that will work in a 1.25
focuser? I have a Konus 130 with brutal image shift.

I believe I discussed the 7315 with the rep I talked to. He was very
helpful, I would give him a call to make sure you get any adapters you
might need. I decided not to buy, when I realized if I was a bit less
ham-fisted at the focus knob I could get OK results.
From Googling when I was shopping for a focuser, the Borg's sounded
like the best out there for a reasonable price.
