New LX90(s) - declination vibration

As some of you may be aware, there is obviously something wrong with many of the new LX90 ACF's. I just received my second one today and it has the same problem as the first one that I just returned. While tracking, the object will flutter up and down every 10-30 seconds and you can hear a rattling sound in the right fork arm. I'm aware of others having the same issue (Weasner's LX90 website for example). I just talked to Meade customer service as well as OPT and they claim they've never heard of such a problem. I guess my options are to send the brand new scope into Meade for service, exchange this scope for a third one (which I'm convinced will have the same problem), or get a refund. How irritating!

Sorry, I just had to vent.
