Actually I don't like fixing other people's creations. I like to be a maker not a fixer.

Colin, I've done your adaptor mod. You can collect it whenever it suits you.
By the way, what make is it. I'm curious because it looks were nice, but when I clocked up the dovetail side, the other one had quite a bad trefoil distortion and runout.

That said, manufacturers such as Astro-Physics and Alluna do a superlative job and it would be very unfair to tar them with the same brush.

You may be right, as I never had anything to do with those brands.
However, I clocked up a Takahashi alignment telescope on the lathe, not long ago, and half of the assembly had a surprising amount of runout relative to the rest. Maybe it was a counterfeit one.
