Howie Glatter collimator - need to borrow

Like a dill, I sold my Glatter collimator last year along with the holographic lenses it uses AND my Takahashi collimating scope. Thought I would not have any further use for either. HA!!

Well you can guess it I'm sure, I now need one because my RC8's collimation is all to hell.

I can use a basic laser collimator to line up the focuser with the secondary center-spot. But beyond that point, the basic (non-hologram) gear doesn't cut it.

Dos anyone either have a suggestion for using a plain-Jane laser to properly collimate a GSO RC8, or have a Glatter I can borrow for a week or so?
