I have an older model Televue 2 inch diagonal. The optics are in great condition however the anodized aluminum body has started to fade. It now looks purple instead of black.
I know it doesn't mater in the dark, but was wondering if there was something I could do to fix it.
Thanks
Steve

Not unless you want to have it anodized again. Black anodizing sometimes turns purple. Doesn't hurt a thing. Character is good.
