Anybody here have any experience with repairing illuminated scopes, or know of places where it can be done or shows how to do it?
Only reason I ask is because I just scored a King Arms Mk. 4 CQ/T 1-3x scope, which has both illuminated and non-illuminated modes, but the illumination doesn't work for whatever reason (the reticule is still there, though). For $50, it was still a hell of a deal, and I plan to test some new batteries when I get it just in case, but if I can restore the illumination to it, I'll have truly gotten a steal (eBaybanned wants $169 for the clone version, AEX sold the King Arms one for $139 when they had it in stock).
For reference, here's the scope I'm talking about: http://www.kingarms.com/productpage.asp?prodid=1233
