What western Pacific company actually builds the Meade AR-6 refractor?

James,

If I'm not mistaken, the AR refractors are made completely in China and then are sent to Meade in Irvine for the addition of the mount and tripod. However, the mount is also made in China and then shipped to Meade.

You can read about all this at the website www.LXD55.com.
