Meade parts impossible to get

I have been trying to get my Autostar 11 handbox working for 1 1/2 years. I got so frustrated with the Adelaide Optical Centre I ended up trying to repair my handbox with a repair kit from WES Electronics. Bintel have tried to help by selling me a used membrane that turned out to be worse than my original one. They don't have new handboxes in stock and wont for another 5 weeks. From past experience with Meade parts, that is short for.. We have no idea... I love my telescope, but Meade support is very very poor here in Australia.

I would love to get a new handbox, does anyone know where I might get one? Autostar11'

It also took just over a year to get a mead field de-rotator repaired under warranty. Meade have not bad scopes, and really bad everything else
