I`ve come across a Unertl target scope thats been on a shelf in a guy`s basement for about 25 years, is there any place that does work on these scopes and can parts be bought for them?
 
Re: Unertl

Do a search for Ackerman i think he is in New Mexico he should be able to repair it "if" it is broken. I'll give you $50 for that old worthless tire iron

Parsons Scope Service in Ohio is one possibility.
 
Re: Unertl

Its got a small amount of rust, not too noticable, but the lens caps have got rust in the threads and they won`t come off,I`m gonna try Kroil if I can find some, the local parts stores here don`t stock it, thats about the best penetrating oil I`ve ever used. I`ll keep the scope, not interested in parting with it.
 
Re: Unertl

The best penetrating oil/mixture is a 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF. Use sparingly...a drop spread around should do it if left over night.
 
Re: Unertl

There's a guy around Pittburgh that works on them and has a lot of spare parts he got from the Butler plant years back. My buddy bought one there. I can get his info if you are interested in contacting him.
