    If its old, the only guy I know (that doesn't mean much-there are probably heaps of others) is Wilhelm arms and optics. He USED to repair scopes, may not anymore.
    In saying that, if the warranty is gone burger you may be able fix it if you know a welding shop who might let you purge the scope with some nitrogen/argon yourself for a couple of beers?
    Have to pull it apart and dry it first.

    I think these oldredfields are collectors items now. My 1970s 4x32 got a bit of moisture inside and I retired it. The replacement vx1 2-7 isn’t as sharp but does the job better. I use the Redfield sometimes in less demanding situations wheee it won’t get too cold and condense. Eg for 22 shooting and on the range and as a spare.

    I think it would be worth getting in touch with Richard Wilhelm in Christchurch and he may know if anyone still does it in nz. A quarte century ago I gave home a re fogged 2-7x redfield for Parts but that’s how long ago it was.
