Lens repair shout out for those in the US

[Lance]

Greetings All

Just received excellent work to repair a rare scope and wanted to share in case others have a similar problem.

Found a "cheap" Telescope, Observing Sniper CMk I that was advertised with a cloudy lens. First though was it was taken apart and assembled wrong, not the case it was cloudy. The culprit, the middle aft erector lens had a cataract. This was caused by the failing, I assume, of the Canadian Balsm glue. Replacement lens not available as one would guess.

Thus I sent the lens to Suddarth Optical Repair

Cory replied it is a nasty thing to repair as the mount was very thin metal pressed holding it in, but in the end he did a perfect job. Another usable scope.

Highly recommended for those in need.

For the matchmakers. Scope s/n's 337-C and 534-C, case s/n 263-C and 529-C (with 527-C painted on the non-s/n body), only 1 tripod. 171-C.
