I sent my 1998 AP155 back to AP about 2 years ago. The lens spacers had migrated some but I really wanted the tube repainted with the new paint. Roland did not charge me for cleaning the lens and replacing the spacers. The tube was at AP for 4 months or so but that did include repainting the OTA.

The OTA came back looking new – I really mean new. It was just like getting a new scope from AP.

Send your lens back. If you are thinking of having your OTA repainted or worked on as well, send it all back. It’s worth the effort.
