Six weeks waiting for a LX10, only to find this brand new  instrument had a major collimation fault. So back to the shop for an  exchange unit, this time the optics were spot on, but the motor was not  responding.  Fortunately, I had chosen a good shop to purchase my Meade.  They spent nearly all morning tracing the fault, and finally had to  exchange the motor assembly for the one I had returned.  Two LX10’s one  faulty optics the other faulty motor, both of which were needed to get  one functionally correct unit.  The same day I decided to fit the  declination motor, and yes, you have guessed it, I could not do it, one  of the two securing holes had not been threaded correctly.                  Quite honesty I am beginning to wonder if Meade was the right  choice, certainly the Stockport Binocular and Telescope Centre was the  right shop to buy it from, they could not have been more helpful, BUT is  this really the Rolls Royce of Telescopes?          Comments please.
