Chuck, More than once I've seen Meade advertise some new wiz bang as being available but nobody could get them for 1-2 years and at least once never! The 6" spherical mirrors that Bill Kelley sold in his tweaked mirror scope kits had been made for a scope Meade advertised as being available but never was because they couldn't get the corrector plates for the cheap price they had planned on. I think Bill paid $30 each for the 6" mirrors at RTMC. He thought they were parabolic when he bought them so had to come up with the tweaked innovation to make them work! I called Bill the McGiver of telescope making. Deloy
