Cleaning and re-assembly were successful, and the image was very clean and sharp. Except, I saw four of everything. Quadruple vision, no matter how many times i tried re-assembly.
It's safe to say that your scope is kaput.

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.

It is the same when you are stupid.

Hi there,
  I have a vintage Weaver J2.5 scope that I'm trying to restore.  All the glass is clean, including the interior lenses.  However, I'm sure when I bought the scope, it had been reassembled improperly.  I've tried to find a schematic regarding lens placement, spacers, etc, but I can't seem to find one.  Specifically, I'm struggling with the internal aluminum tube that houses three lenses and the reticle.  If anyone has a schematic, or could describe the proper orientation for assembly, that would be appreciated!  Thanks.

Mark
