Some screws arrived loose and after inspection the holes are all loose on the main scope. Maybe its the cheap aluminum.
After removing the dew shield I noticed a crack on the end on the main scope. Okay I can live with that.
Overall its Chinese built Meade, the outer visual is good looking but mine had those few hidden faults.

Views were stunning and I added the 2" W.O. Durabright rotolock diagonal.
Need to start taking pictures with it.
John where did you get the 10:1 gear set wheel? I know they are available from Bresser direct but do any US retailers sell them? Are they the same as the Explore Scientific gear set?
