Orion bino adjustment

I have a pair of the older Orion 14x100 binoculars that have provided excellent service over the years. These have individual focusing oculars. Recently, one of the oculars has "loosed up" in that you can turn it, but it does not change focus. If you pull the ocular away from the body of the binocular and turn it, it will change focus, but it does not stay that way by itself. I have pulled off the eyecup, looked for set screws, etc, all to no avail.

Does anyone know how to fix this? It seems like a simple problem, but it is a big mystery to me. Thanks for any advice!
