I have some dirt in my Turret finder. Does anyone have instructions on how to disassemble and reassemble the prisms?

Unscrew the three screws holding the eyepiece on. There will be a metal tube on top of the lower prism. Very carefully tip the prisms out, ensuring you keep them in the orientation they came out. The only prism you can get in the wrong way round is the small one (see drawing attached), but there are only about 4 different ways it goes in so you will soon work out which is the correct way if you do get it wrong. The front turret comes off (loosen the little grub screw in the centre of the big screw) and make sure not to loose the little ball bearing which acts as the click stop.) so you can clean inside there as well.

Cheers,
Steve

Thankyou for this- I just picked up one of these, an early one with SN < 1000.
