:C Checking to see if this happened to anyone else and if you have any suggestions. I purchased a Meade 16" LightBridge in the middle of November but Meade did not ship any products over the holidays so I did not receive my new scope until the 2nd week in January. The scope I received had a defective upper OTA. When I called Meade to have it taken care of I was told to ship the whole scope back, at my expense, and then they would send me a new one. There was no time frame on when I would get the new one either.

Do you think it is fair that I have to pay to ship a 128 pound scope back to the manufacturer and hope that the replacement is not defective too? Anybody else have problems with this scope?
