There were some FLT110's and FLT132's released with poor optics around 2008/09 so it's best to get a look through the scope or get some assurance from the seller.
The more recent rack and pinion focusers are very good but earlier crayfords often needed replacing because they slipped or the drawtube wobbled.
I also know a couple of FLT110 and FLT132 owners who also had problems with the optics.

They were new units and WO were very good about replacing them under warranty at the time.

However a second hand unit will not have warranty so check the unit very carefully as it could be an expensive exercise to fix !!
