The bad news came yesterday that my scope cannot be repaired because they no longer have the parts. After 7 years they discontinue parts. They asked me to send the scope body in and they will give me a coupon towards another Nikon scope of similar value.....but there is no similar scope. Mine had an eyepiece that zoomed to 75....which made all the difference in the world for band reading. A replacement will only zoom to 60, as most 80mm scopes do. I am devastated.
With so many bands to read, that extra reach made many bands readable that would not be otherwise. Does anyone have a Nikon ED 82mm fieldscope with the 25-75 zoom eyepiece they would be willing to sell??????? Anyone know of someone who has the eyepiece for that scope they might sell? Please share this post around to see if we can scare up a replacement so I can get back to work. Otherwise, this may be the proverbial straw that broke the camels back. No sleep last night.
