Has anyone here replaced the much talked about "
weak springs" in the mirror cell?
Where did you source your springs and how did you replace them?
What mods can be done to
Strengthen the Struts?
Shroud attachment ... any comments?
Here is a Link I found that highlights all the weak spots of the 16" GSO scope:

I'm not sure what the reference to removing the silicon is about, or how that would effect the scope. Could anyone explain this...has this something to do with
correcting the space between mirror and cell ?
I'd also like to talk about any other mods you may have made to strengthen and make this scope "useable" Other than the springs being inadequate and something about the spacing of mirror and cell being slightly out...plus the rocker box being weak ... what else needs "fixing!"
Perhaps this explains the price has drop..I guess the day they sell a Dob that works out of the Box...there would be outrage.
