Anyone have any first-hand knowledge of a reliable spotting scope repair shop? I have two, a Unertl and a Redfield, which need a good cleaning and adjustment. I tried Champion's choice. Homer told me to look in the magazines for some shops advertising repair... but I haven't seen a single one.

I know a guy across the street from me who can fix about anything that I can't. I would bet he could do it.

sure would think any store that sells top quality surveying equipment would be able to clean them up for you. I had my K&E eye level and leitz instrument cleaned a few years back before I put them away. Didn't need them to do what I do now.

There is a guy in PA. named Loyl Amand that you might find a link on the PA 1000 Yard Br club site as a sponsor.

Thanks BountyHunter. I'll get in touch with all three. BTW: I took the Redfield to the guy in Williamsport who sells surveying and drafting equipment. He got a chuckle out of my request. Seems that a loaded Topcon or Leitz theodolite with DME, GPS, or loaded Total Stations are childes play to these guys, but spotting scopes are a deep and dark mystery. I suppose its like a Bamboo fishing rod thang... simple stuff requires an artist.
Here's the word right from the principles: Unertl is 100% completely out of business... PERIOD! The Las Vagas telephone number and web-site are both dead. The guy that was calling himself Unertl was selling nothing but the 10-X Marine Corp sniper scope. I guess there was no living in that. And Bill Ackerman thought I was pulling his leg when I emailed him... he asked me if I wanted to open a spotting scope repair shop.
So here are the facts: If you must have a Unertl fixed, Parsons Scope Service can take care of any Unertl, rifle or spotting scope. He suggested Iron Sights Inc. for Redfield repair. Both businesses have web sites.
Thanks for the leads fellas... I appreciate it very much.
