    NO kidding. Service was ok until I ordered more products, got charged for it and never received those or a refund. Then for no reason they killed my whole account early. I am not even exaggerating, never got a refund or anything but I was told that if I pay *again* I can have it. I still get unsolicited calls to switch back to them. Never been late for any bill.

    I bought my Mach2 because of your original videos. Not sure when they changed the CW insert to bronze, but I somehow got my CW shaft stuck in the insert about a year ago. I am guessing there was some galling. I had to use a torch and heat up the shaft until the loctite on the insert gave way. Sent the shaft and stuck on insert to George and received back the shaft and a new bronze insert. Can't say enough about the support from everyone at Astro-Physics.
