Dob/Reflector Owners Near Retford?

Hi guys!

Recently picked up a 200p for my stepfather, had a quick flick through the instruction manual as I wanted to check if it was in relatively ok collimaton prior to him picking it up, had a look online to check what I should expect also. Everything looks like it's everywhere and I'm really unsure on what to even do! I've read guides online and watched videos which for the most part I understand the gist of it. However I'm failing to get to grips with what to do, everything sounds so simple in theory but it's just not doing what I want it to! 

The secondary looks as if it's at a complete wrong angle and the three allen bolts aren't adjusting this in the way I'm aiming for. i cannot get the full primary visible in the secondary and everything else seems well off! 

Would appreciate if there was anyone local I could perhaps pop round to with said scope and get a face to face how to guid at some point. I need to be able to tell my stepdad what to do and at the moment it's the blind leading the blind! haha!

Any help appreciated

Fear not! I have conquered the beast! The secondary was well out of place, ended up having to measure and adjust the spider veins then the tilt on the secondary. 

SCTs are a doddle compared to messing about with secondaries on a newt!
