The surface shows a large number of pits & some scratches still (I understand aluminizing will bring this out). I do not have the tool for the mirror. The mirror seems to be able to form a decent image at focus, although I have not Focault tested it. The question is, should I either try to remove the aluminum coating, repolish & with what, or pitch the mirror, or mount?? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
