Hi Dez and congrats on your new scope!!!..I have one of these beauties too..easy to move around and to transport....a couple of extra things I did do when I first put it together is with the base assembly..and this applies to any base made from particleboard with exposed edges...smear a film of silicone onto the exposed edges and allow to dry before assembly...this will help stop moisture being absorbed into the particleboard and thus turning it into a crumbling biscuit!!!...after assembly go over the whole base and optical tube..(not the teflon bits!)...with a quality furniture wax to repel moisture...every so often give the teflon bits and the hubs a clean with metho....
Cheers!
