Robin,
I have seen 1/2 a dozen scopes from Andrews that were not properly collimated. Lee Andrews is a nice bloke and sells very cheap boxes but he is far from an expert on optics. If you got it from Bintel I would suggest an infinitely better probability that the scope was properly collimated when it arrived, thats why you pay a bit more from them. Mike Chator has been an ATMer for over a decade. In the case of Don Whiteman and Mike Smith they have both been ATmers for 3 decades.
I actually checked Anthony's scope myself and it isn't close to properly collimated, its miles out.
