Where have all the collimators gone?

[jakey]

Is it just me or is there a world shortage of collimators at the moment?

Everywhere I try to order one is out of stock.

I can't even source a second hand one. Anyone help?

Howdy Jakey,

I recently purchased an Orion Cheshire collimation tool from SCSastro, £36 all told, inc shipping. Have you tries there?

I tried FLO and there was none in stock.

The Meade laser collimater has been unavailable for what seems like an eternity and the AE Cheshire is very thin on the ground, though I have managed to source two(!) which should arrive Wed-Thu.
