Is it possible that the Meade Starfinder dobsonian series was the last
MOSTLY American made scope produced? I say MOSTLY because I think the
cheap 6 x 30 finder and the junk model #77 plastic focuser are probably the
only parts of it which are imported. I have the 12.5 inch Starfinder and
am very happy and satisfied with its operation.
