Thanks Dennis, I'm looking forward to getting the most I can out of it. That's what I thought initally Dennis, but I didn't think clips were used to retain the mirror cell. Again I'll be able to check that out when I clean the mirror. You don't happen to know anyone that has experience with cleaning VC mirrors do you  |
Mine (12 years old) did have 3 mirror clips, although you would have to really fiddle with them to produce mechanical strain on the mirror. There was a thin foam strip between the clip and the edge of the mirror.
Cheers
