Try asking Dave Kodama.  You should be able to find him on the Borg
Telescopes list on Yahoo, since I don't think he monitors this list much
anymore.  I was able to examine one of these at Hutech's office in LA last
year, and it certainly seemed to be well-put together, but I didn't do much
more than admire it.
