After my part in the complaining about the bad quality of the Series 500 EP's I thought I would bite the bullet.
I went into Ballarat today to the only 2 places in the whole town that sell telescopes(apart from Dork Smith). Both are Camera shops.
My intention: If I am going to complain about my EP's, why don't I pull my head in and buy a good one instead of complaining about my junk.
I know that Camera House sells Meade and Fletchers sell Tasco so I hit both in the hope of getting a Meade EP.
Outcome: Fletchers don't sell any EP's at all and Camera House have a Meade price list in a folder stashed in the back storeroom which he went and got. After looking through the list he said he will have to order the one I want from Meade in USA as they don't keep any EP's in stock. He also said it's not worth him contacting his Head Office as every time he does they don't have what the customer orders, so he orders from USA direct.
Next Step: I will HAVE TO order from a shop in Sydney or Melbourne!
I would've thought that in a town the size of Ballarat that there would be at least 2 or 3 EP's for sale in one of the shops. 'Not Happy Jan'
Both shops sell scopes but not the EP's.
