Yes, apart from a few things that are not too hard to fix (springs, straylight shield, fix the staples in the teflon etc), he is giving it a good review.
One thing I didn't understand. The centre of gravity can be altered at the altitude bearings. It looks like it needs a screwdriver to loosen two screws then slide the OTA forward or back, then tighten. I wouldn't have thought that was a job one would do between eyepiece changes, but he seemed to be suggesting that he was doing this?? He says "all I had to do was crank down the ALT bearings". Or perhaps he meant - tighten the bearings?? What do you understand by this?
