Got a new Meade LX90 GPS scope but it needs collimation. In the manual it explains about 3 screws but mine has got 6. Guess I got an old manual. Can anybody help please?

Are the screws you're talking about on the back, by the focuser, or up front on the secondary?

Up front, on the secondary.

For a photo showing Bob's Knobs replacing the three collimation screws on a 6 screw secondary like yours see:

BTW, I highly recommend you invest in these. They make collimation a breeze, no fumbling in the dark with a hex wrench. I have no connection with either Bob's Knobs or this website. Just as a user of a LX200R I find the knobs a great convenience. I would expect most telescope dealers in your country to carry them.

I won't be much help I'm afraid. Mine has three screws on the secondary.
