remove lightbridge mirror

[doug mc]

I have a 12inch Meade lightbridge, i would like to know how to remove the mirror for a recoat. After removing the mirror cell from the tube and hold down clips in front of mirror, the mirror will not come out of cell. It seems to be glued to the 9point triangle plates. Also a good mirror recoater please.

Welcome to the horror of Lightbridge glue. A razor blade is your friend, strip out the cell from the bottom and start cutting.

Wayne Sainty at Saintech has just recoated a 20" for me and I can't praise the quality and service enough. Recent price list attached
