[AZ-Observing] An Old Brandon Eyepiece

About 20 years ago I bought a used Brandon 32mm 1.25 eyepiece from a 
retiree in Sun City. It was sad because he had to sell his things to get 
the money for health care for him and his wife. Over the years it has 
gradually deteriorated. I think the cement cementing two elements is 
breaking apart. Although there are much better eyepieces out now, for 
posterity it would be nice to be able to repair this one and to be able 
to use it. Can this be done? I imagine it would involve soaking it is 
some kind of solvent and re-cementing the elements. I am assuming there 
are two elements because otherwise I cannot account for the appearance 
of the lens.
