Telrad displays double image

This week, my Telrad got jostled around in the trunk of my car. Now it displays a double overlapping target image. This double image is smaller than the original single image. I've taken the device apart and consulted the schematics, and everything looks in place - the lens, the LED, etc..

Any ideas regarding how to fix this would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Roy

The problem is solved. smile

The unit containing the LED somehow slid forward to a position almost underneath the display glass. This caused the lens to produce the double image. When I slid the LED unit to a position near the middle of the Telrad interior, the image returned to normal.

Phew!
