John,

At one time there were several dealers who offered this service...Tuthill
and Company 7. As you know, Roger Tuthill passed away and Company 7 no
longer sells Meade products. This leaves Hands On Optics
http://www.handsonoptics.com I know that Gary Hand offers this service at
extra charge, but I'm not sure of his price for this service.
