Is there extended warranty insurance to cover this type of costs? I can appreciate the ideology of shopping around, but only when there are other alternatives which are also not overpriced. The Meade and Celestron policy needs to be changed. It maybe an idea to get the local Astronomy groups to come together to write a petition letter to Meade and Celestron asking them to change this policy.
In whatever manner you to warranty, I dont think anyone hold every part for every scope sold, instead they would hold few full sets of spares. That is the point I was trying to make with the whole scope for parts idea.
Would not mind a trip to hawaii that makes a lot of sense.
This brings about another question, i recall searching the web one day and coming across a Federal ACT that seemed to declare astronomy equipment was not to be taxed on import. It may have been an older version that has been revised or some such. Can anyone else confirm this?
Regards
