Cleaning & collimation...send back to Televue?

I have a 15 year old Genesis which is really dusty and needs to be cleaned. I live in Seattle and am worried about sending it across the country back to Televue. Is this something which I can have done locally? thank you, Bill

It depends. If you're gonna clean just the front surface, I'd just call Tele Vue and get directions. But if there are lots of dust in-between the lens element and you have to disassemble the lens cell, I'd highly recommend sending it back to Tele Vue for a thorough maintenance wink. Not long ago, O'Meara did just that with his Genesis f/5.
