Richard, I found the website for Bestwell Optical Instr. Corp. and have e-mailed them with my question. I hate being without this focuser. I have a hard enough time seeing *with* it... I'm lost without it. I guess I'll not be printing for a bit.

The important part is the position of the cross hair, this establishes the reference point for the instrument. If its shifted from its original position the instrument will no longer be correctly referenced to the paper. My microsite is packed up because I have had painters working so I can't look at it right now. I am not sure how its mounted. I think you have the right idea about contacting the manufacturer, they may want you to send it back. Despite its simplicity I find it the most useful of the focusing aids.Oooh... I just read this (when I googled "repair Microsightfocuser"); >>>Adjustable eyepiece with air suspended hair reticle.<<<"Air suspended hair reticle". I'm supposing I should not be screwing this in from the top after removing the eyepiece. Since it fell out the bottom, it must have been held there another way. Those threads are so fine, I can't seem to get them into it from the bottom. I know these can be sent back in for repair, though I hate to be without it that long so was hoping to fix it myself. Maybe Monday I can call and get info from the manufacturer if nobody here knows how to fix it. Still watching and hoping for experienced advice. Thanks.
