Replacement Meade 395 objective

I recently found an abused Meade 395 telescope at a local high school
tag sale and it has an objective with a couple of very large chips in
it. After cleaning it up and adjusting the mount, I decided that it
might be OK if it had a new objective. I contacted Meade to see if
replacements were still available, and they told me that they were
not. A quick perusal of this group tells me that the quality of Meade
objectives is very spotty at best. Can anyone point me at a possible
source of a replacement objective? Is this even something I should
consider? Or, should I consider putting the whole thing into the
trash?
