    I have just obtained one from EBay, but it needs a bit of work. does
    anyone on the list have:
    
    1) a manual for one?
    
    2) one in working or original condition?
    
    3) a good idea of how they work and is willing to offer some clues?
    
    The major conundrums I face are:
    
    1) It seems to need some carbon paper or similar material, and I am
    not quite sure what to use or where to insert it (please be polite on
    replies to that one).
    
    2) it appears a previous owner dismantled and reassembled the scopes,
    and I am not certain they are reassembled right. What recticules go on
    which scope?
    
    3) There is a scale on the bottom of the ball chamber, and I am not
    certain how to use/read it.
    
    Thanks in advance
    
    Rob
