Darren, it should be in Japan by the end of the week, reckon I should have it back in around a fortnight. They will have to check everything as the clowns that worked on it managed to loosen the focuser, they also disassembled the entire lens cell without me asking, all I wanted was for them to collimate it
. They also decided to clean the optics as well, did a hash job as well I noticed smudges on the optics when it came back from them. So Takahashi will have to give it a 100,000km service I reckon
At least Takahashi are "real professionals".
I have sent numerous emails to the company concerned and they just refuse to answer them. Looks like arrogance has kicked in. Hopefully the Office of Consumer and Business affairs will stir up some action. After all I paid money for services that were not performed correctly and the intitial problems were not fixed, if anything the problems have become worse. I know the first time the scope was returned to me, it was totally unusable, they said the front element had become loose in the cell, yeah right, who had the cell to bits. If they knew what they were doing this would not have happened, god knows what sort of other mischief they have caused. Not to mention the grief that I am getting from "she who must be obeyed"
