Hi,
I bought an 8" lxd 55 about 6 years ago, used it twice and then put it away. When I brought it out a few days ago, i found a remant of a spider web, a few splotches on the mirror and an errant piece of plastic losse in the tube. What is the best way to take this apart and put it back together?
Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

My advice? Leave it alone. Stop shining a flashlight down the tube and get out there under the stars with it and ENJOY. wink
