Hi Jim,

I can help you on this one. Have a look at their website at
http://www.teleskop-service.de/
(or http://www.telescope-service.com/ for the english version)
I bought an 8 inch Skywatcher Dobsonian from them two years ago (via
ebay as well), and I think it was a fair deal. (They don't sell the
Skywatchers anymore, but they were in the same category as the GSO
ones, I suppose). Their staff seemed to know what they were talking
about ;-), so I don't think they would sell cheap and nasty scopes for
too high a price.. (And their workshop looked rather impress)

I know what my gut tells me but does anyone have any knowledge of
these - good/bad/indifferent?

Dunno about exactly this scope, but the seller is IMHO trustworthy.

Jim

Best of luck,

Joerg
