Question
Paul,
I purchased a Meade telescope for my wife a couple of years ago.
We have never been able to make it work, has auto tracking and other features. If you live in Napa I would like you to take a look and determine if it's us or the telescope. I am willing to pay a fee for this service.

Thanks

Answer
Hi Scott

Can you describe what the problem is?  DO the optics work?  Have you been able to focus it on the moon and taken a look?  Or can you  describe the problem in more detail?

I'm happy to help, although I do have some limitations on what I can do for you directly....

Drop me a note back, and we'll see if we can't get this thing operational
