Right as rain. (Boy what a crummy metaphor).

My secret plan is to find a machinist in Portland, then call
for all 'classic' LX200 owners in the area to have a party
where we all do this together. Share insight, trouble shooting,
alignment jigs, etc.

Maybe Rose City Astronomers (big club) could sponsor it and OMSI
could supply us with a work space.
