Anyone collimated a Tele Vue scope?

My recently acquired Pronto appears to be out of collimation, showing coma in star images at 60x. I contacted Bintel and Astronomy Alive and they both said the scope would need to be sent back to Tele Vue for re-collimation. However, the cost of doing this would be more than the scope is worth.

I've seen a handful of threads on CN suggesting that DIY collimation is possible although way beyond my own (non-existent) skills. So I thought I'd see if anyone here has ever done this successfully with a TV scope and might be willing to have a go at this one.
