For Phil, repairing old scopes is about a LOT more than making money. He has a love for the old glass and keeping the old scopes in use. Saw this again in spades when I needed a scope cap for one turret on my 55 year old Weaver 3/4" fixed 4 power scope that is on my first gun, a 22RF Cooey model 39. Not only does he have a stock of these, he actually took the time to mail me a $3 part, actually sent 2 even though I only paid him for one. There is absolutely no money in it for him, his time is worth way more, but he does it anyhow. He really is a pleasure to deal with.
