Replacement Focuser - SAXON 76700U

Hey gang, So I have an old telescope and the centre shaft of the focuser was lost long ago. Kids pulled out in a move? So I was looking to replace it. Seems just the middle part is hard to match between so I assume I need an entirely new focuser. Which will mean eyepieces/lenses too.

This is my poor long suffering scope: [https://imgur.com/a/VdjJSsn](https://imgur.com/a/VdjJSsn)

I just want to be able to look at stars, the moon again. And later on (not now) be ready to take some photos with my Canon. But that's going to be a later problem for me and my 5D MK II.

I'm thinking that this kind of focuser looks like a match? Seems to suit the right size. But the screw holes don't line up at all. Mine is attached with 3 screwholes, 50mm apart centre to centre.

Anyone who can confirm this will let me look up at the stars again?

Edit: And this is his cheaper cousin. [https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364893342279](https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364893342279)
