Well, I just purchased a PST used from the original owner. I'm pretty sure after checking the objective closely that I have a "sick" one. I have the original warranty form. Ship date was Aug/05...serial# 98985. Looks like it was blue.
What is my next step from here?, I used it once already and it worked quite well, saw a couple of nice proms.
Should I be sending it back for repair?

Just recently got my PST back from Meade after finally showing rust problems. They were quick, about 2 months. Also came back with the new bluish looking objective. First thing I have ever sent back for warranty (at 58/60 months into it) so I was surprised how smooth the experience was overall.
Serial #: 94064; Shipped Jun 2004.

Just received my fixed PST (99470) back from Meade (after 11 weeks). I am the second owner of mine and Meade honored the original warranty since I received the paperwork when I bought from the first owner. I don't have that warranty in front of me now, but I am pretty sure its for 60 months. Therefore you don't have much time before its too late (for the free service). Call 1-800-626-3233 and go from there.

Just got off the phone with Meade, they will honor the warranty. Est. ETA is about 6-12 weeks when they recieve scope.

The 'Add a PST' at http://elektronkind.org/pst/ is down (Undefined index: in /local/vweb/elektronkind.org/htdocs/pst/index.php on line 212)
so I'll add PST #95540 here; it suffers from rust 
I've mailed Meade Europe in Germany ... I hope it'll get repaired.

SN 98097 - Had small amount of "rust." I recognized it thanks to this forum. 5-year warranty was "up" in June 2010, so wanted to get it repaired soon.
Meade repair experience: About 40 days, from mailing to receiving it back from Meade. Blue objective lens now. Waiting for a clear day to try the 'scope out.
