But I recently reacquired the LEs and my current 5 and 7.5 still flare, but it is very minor and of course only on the Moon. Minor enough to not matter. So IMO, given the difference between my old ones and the current ones, I presume Tak addressed this issue at some point. So I guess luck of the draw which you get if you buy used.

No arguments from me
Like I said in my post on the other DeLite thread wherein I disagree with Wavytones
I hope everyone takes on board all these comments and start buying Televue DeLites and in the process decide to sell their old eyepieces - especially Takahashi LE and Orthoscopic eyepieces.
