ETX 90 Baffle problem

Posted By Mark Kuhl

I recently obtained an ETX 90 and upon arrival, I noticed that the secondary baffle appeared to be mis-aligned. I removed the corrector plate to examine and what I saw is the attached picture. I haven't had a chance to take this under the stars yet to view through the scope (being fairly new, I might not be able to tell the difference anyway). The baffle seems fairly firmly attached and doesn't want to slide into place.

How big of an impact should I expect this to have?
Anywhere I can go to get it corrected?

Would appreciate any insight/advice. Thanks!
