Hi Clive,
We are fully aware of that and that is the reason they will be completely rebuilt from scratch. I didn't need to go into all that here in this thread. The sad thing is we all (including Mark) tried to tell the builder from day 1 that they wouldn't work using his design parameters and he wouldn't listen. The guys at 3RF in the USA, where they already had a very similar pair that didn't work, also tried to tell him. About the only things salvageable from them are the primary and secondary mirrors, the focusers, the Argo Navis and the Sci-Tech drives. The Sci Tech drives are excellent BTW and highly recommended for those who can cover the price of admission.
Cheers,
John B
