[Birdtalk] broken telescope

[Dave Hanscom]

Thanks to all of you who responded to my plea for help getting my scope 
fixed.  I ended up calling Leupold Product Service, which it turns out is 
nearby in Beaverton, OR, and arranged for them to fix the scope.  I just 
got back from the UPS Store, and it's on its way.

As luck would have it, they did an upgrade a few years ago on the eyepiece 
for the model that I have, so they might even replace it for free.  Wow!

Good birding to all.

Dave
