Thanks for the tips, guys. I may contact Parsons about it. I forgot they were still in business; I recalled that the guy who founded it passed away a few years ago but forgot that his son has taken over. I probably shouldn't attempt a do-it-yourself fix because of the warnings in the owners manual about removing the eyepiece. The scope is actually quite nice except for the eyepiece issue; the body looks brand new and the optics are very nice when the ocular lens is in its proper position. I grew up in the Rochester NY area and recall when B&L was turning out some first rate optics. Having the original box and owners manual in mint shape is also a plus.
