Geez guys, only one disembowelling per day from now on if you don't mind
. I might as well dismember the Meade Series 5000 and Bintel Quartz but definitely not the Tak
diagonals over the following days just to satisfy those curious IISpacers.
Firstly, I took both side plates off the Dura-Bright and I would say that WO have used a retaining compound to lock the 2" slip in barrel or tightened it up so hard it can't be removed to attach the SCT fitting unlike the Quartz version.
Secondly, I have attached an image of the TV Everbrite, the mirror is around 10mm thick (a mm or so thicker than the WO quartz). It is set into the base plate as shown and has a fibre shim to hold it just in place.
* I'm going to ignore the comment about " float glass ", indeed!
Cheers everybody
