After a quick search of the archives I found a member on here ( Brass n glass ) used to or still owns one.

its in a post about 3/4 of the way down in this thread How many scopes have owned?... [Archive] - Stargazers Lounge

Also mentioned in this thread http://stargazerslounge.com/astro-lounge/78913-trio-mercury-moon-pleiades.html

It might be worth sending him a PM in case he dont read this thread,he might be able to give some advice on your scope
