I remember having to do documentation when I sent something back to Meade for repair, so I would suggest check that. Don't know if things have changed in that regard.

Hi Peter,

I got the impression from the e-mail I got back from Claude that AEC isn't really interested in coordinating the shipping to/from Takahashi Japan. I believe AEC would prefer if I purchase a new EM200 TEMMA 2 from them. I purchased the EM200 USDII Mount rather cheap off a seller on Astromart and I know Claude doesn't like handling Takahashi gear not purchased from AEC even though I have purchased eyepieces, Mewlon 250S and an FSQ-106ED from him in the past.
