I have a vixen 95 as a guide scope. Also could not collimate. Took it to a telescope tech we have in the astronomical society to have a look. He could not get it to collimate. We decided to open it up to find the prim mirror had its center hole on an angle so I't did not fit onto the light tube square. We had to file the light tube to get it to sit square and flat. Also had a look at the secondary that was also out. It was held in place with double sided tape that had a fold in it when fitted. That also had to be removed and re attached. The scope is better now, but not perfect. I purchased it new wen on holiday in the USA. I only use it as a guide scope and does the job. Very disappointed with the build quality for the price of the scope. I hope this is not also your problem. Good Luck..
