@radistx - The scope was posted by EnumC, if you're not the same person, isn't cool to bid over his scope, he'll get upset.
In any case, the seller is an used equipment monger, so if that would have been a simple issue, they would have solved already, IMO the scope, as is, isn't worth more than 100USD, is most likely toast for good.
But if you have the money, be patient, really the US compared with EU is like an El Dorado, tons of cool stuff all the time, so I'm pretty sure you'll get something better for the money.
