Subject:	ETX Astro OTA repair

I was just informed by Meade that they no longer offer repair service
for my circa 1996 ETX 90mm, which is now referred to as the "Astro" I
gather. I am wondering if you or your users know anyone who might repair
the OTA which has a slipped secondary mirror. Meade suggested it might
have been heat that caused the glue to melt when it was stored.

Since it is so old, I thought I might try to get in there myself and
move the secondary back to where it belongs. Otherwise, it is just junk,
though the drive assembly still works.

Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated.
