A couple of Kudos

Do they still give these things out
Anyway, I have a couple of good things to say about a couple of Companies.
Some time back I bought a 6.3 reducer and never could get it to work. After corresponding with several people and the place where I bought the reducer, the conclusion was I needed another adapter to be able to use the reducer. I was going to buy one on line from a dealer that had the lowest price but they were out of them at the time. I contacted OPT and they had one and would match the price plus a 5% discount.
After discussing the problem with OPT they told me I might have a bad reducer and shouldn't need the other adapter. They suggested I contact Meade to see if they would replace my reducer since the place where I originally bought the reducer was no longer in business.
I contacted Meade and they replaced my 6.3 reducer with a good one
Kudos for OPT who could have sold me an adapter that I didn't need, and Meade for replacing one of their adapters that was bought well over a year ago that was faulty.

Ron,
I bought a Meade 4000 Series 2x Barlow from them a few years ago which wasn't up
to snuff and I *didn't even think about asking them to replace it*.
Instead I just got mad and went and bought a Televue 3x. I'll never need another Barlow.
Anyway I have found Meade's tech support to be really excellent.
