Help w/ Condensation Inside Front Lens

I’m was thinking about purchasing a used Televue Pronto, but after inspection, I noticed what appeared to be dried condensation build-up on the inside of the front lens. As I already own a 10” dob, I was planning to use this scope for daytime viewing or as a quick set-up scope. My question is.... Can the front lens be disassembled and cleaned? If the answer is no, could the scope still be usable for day or night viewing? Unfortunately, when I viewed the scope, there were no eyepieces so I couldn’t test it out. As always, any comments and / or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Paul smile

Televue will clean it for you. I would advise that you let them unless you have done it before.
