Intro and NV spotter repair

G'day folks.

As a brand new NV shooter (I started using a Pard NV007 only two weeks ago) I thought I'd poke my nose in.

While I'm here can anyone suggest a repairer for a Night Owl NOXM50? It's not the most expensive piece of equipment out there but having only used it half a dozen times in two years I'd like to see if it's salvageable before consigning it to the bin.

TIA

Paul

Sorry, but you won't find anyone to repair your night owl - bin job I'm afraid

Cheers

Welcome to the forum Paul.

You might find a future use for the lens so maybe get that out before you dump it. Dunno if the near eye viewer can be salvaged too if yer a good keen patient fiddler.

Cheers some bloke.

There's an update. Last night I fiddled with it, changed batteries, wound the eyepiece in and out, wound the lens to both extremes of focus etc. I wound the lens too far and it came off. After putting it back on the unit worked perfectly which is a bit of a mystery. I'll not complain though.
