This is a Tele Vue sale, all of their dealers will be involved.

Chris, Tele Vue has manufactured eyepieces in Japan and Taiwan for many years. I do not care which country my Tele Vue oculars come from, I just care whether they perform well. All of Tele Vue's scopes are assembled in NY, USA from optics manufactured elsewhere. I'm sorry to hear that the owner of the TV102 your mentioned had trouble getting the fault rectified, that's not the kind of result Tele Vue typically offers (nor for the price charged should it be!).

In case the above looks like some kind of Tele Vue defense from a `raving fan' it isn't supposed to be. I believe that Al Nagler and company make (mostly) very fine products of which I own four - one each of the Nagler, plossl and Wide Field (the precursor to the Panoptic line) eyepieces and a Powermate. I mostly prefer a different brand of eyepiece (Pentax) and my scopes are all from other manufacturers.

Back to the original question asked in this thread. So far I've had one PM and there have been a couple of posts above from interested people, is anybody else interested in joining together to take advantage of this deal?
