Just wondering if anyone has recieved any replacement parts yet?
After much hassle I got a tracking number for my repleacement RA drive ( As cuurier deliveries in my area can be dodgy).
Then discovered the unit only left Germany last night and is now in the UK.
At least something is coming1

I gave up and returned the scope to Lidl. Lidl customer service never followed up my call, and I couldn't be bothered working through Meade's support department, shipping back the old motor, etc. I'll just have to live with the old DS-2130 for a bit longer. :(

Thats awful seanl,
It's two weeks now and I still havent been sent the replacement RA drive!
VERY unhappy with thier 'support' team.
This kind of thing has put me off buying anythin of MEADE's ever again.

I'm glad I got mine going thanks to Peter207 on here. Its been out a couple of times now and performs superbly although the weather hasn't been up to much.

Here's a pic I got through it!

Alignment and focus not perfect and sky very moist with a lot of LP being thrown back, but better than anything I've ever taken before!
