Yank the mirror out and have it refigured and recoated, dump the rest. It would make great ATM project.
Agreed, you have the mirror, call OWL for estimate on test/refigure/recoat ...from their webpage looks like (without sale price!) $226 for basic refigure (unless its a Type II then its $441) + $104 for 92% coating. An imported 10" Dob from Orion is $499. With imported Dob you could get a good mirror, or a dud. Going with OWL you will get a very good mirror.
