Hi Dan , as I said in my e-mail , i find this hard to beleave.
The transportation case that you had it in seams quite substantial.
If any thing were to happen it would be more in bad collimation and not the optical abberation we saw.
A few of the first Celestrons had this problem with lens cells working there way loose in transport and the doublets moving in relation to each other but were easialy rectified.
Also the Orions were prone to bad collimation and don't have any way of adjusting the cell easaly .
Your collimation was spot on .
We checked for loose optics which you didn't have so it is a mistery.
Did you send it back to Frointier first and did they recheck it before forwarding it on to WO.
