Well I had to take it appart, but I did not expect it to fall to pieces, look at the baffles, they all fell out

That's pretty poor. Is that a scratch on your secondary?

[Rocket Pooch]

No spiders, it wiped off, do you like the paint flecks on the primary

[MarkS]

What?  Paint flecks?!?! 

Did it come with paint flecks? 
Or were the spiders walking around inside with paint on their feet?

[RobertM]

Well, it's no Tak but I'd have expected it to stay together.  Paint flecks are probably due to the baffles moving around, pretty crap really.

Can't you send it back ? I think Olly had one that really £$^^ed him off and was going to send back to Altair astro; I assume yours is the same construction.

I'm going to drop AltairAstro a nice note saying it was me pissing around with one at Olly's and see what they say.
