[COLOR="Purple"]Hi John!
Steve Swayze is known for his testing/refiguring services. http://www.europa.com/~swayze/

Woden Optics lists testing/refiguring too.

I'm sure there are others.

Is the mirror giving you poor views?

Mirror Storage/Transport Box

Posted By Bill Byrd
[COLOR="Purple"]The box still needs white paint (easier to see what I'm doing in the dark!) inside & out and some weather stripping to seal the edges where the top meets the sides.

The mirror is 32 pounds and the box is about 14 pounds. This is easier to handle than leaving the mirror in the mirror box, which is much more bulky and weighs 60 pounds with the mirror in it.
