I apologize if that is how it sounded, that was never my intention or personal view. I am a supporter of the idea that internet forums operate better with the increasing number of international members from everywhere on the globe.

My intent was simply to point out a theory that i had heard in other places as a possible cause of the problem. It isn't about the country where it is moved to, as any relocation introduces a transition period where things may go wrong.

On the bright side, I have heard newer reports. They say ever since they found out the reason for this vibration problem, they started working on fixing the unsold telescopes in stock, and replaced certain mechanisms on their production line.

I did not hear of any recalls for the already shipped telescopes, so if anyone has a problem definitely send your scope back to Meade.
