Jon,
Unfortunately reflective gratings are ultra sensitive...they can NOT be cleaned...dust, moist breath, fingerprints all spell disaster for a grating.
I keep mine in sealed Tupperware containers when not in the spectroscope.

There have been some delays with the CNC machined components for the new slit/guider...but I believe they have now been overcome.
