Re: A Question For Dobsonian Owners
Granted anything can happen but the chances of getting a bad one are very slim.
Also remember that some people when posting these reviews are expecting Zambuto quality for 1/4 the price and then are shocked when things do not live up to expectation.
The majority of these today perform very well.
I would be more concerned about the included hardware as some provide the minimum quality and others supply good.
Apertura provides a good package for not much more than most.
The only culture I have is from yogurt

I love 8" dobs, a 10 shows a tiny bit more, but the 8" is f6 vs f5 for the 10.
