Hi, A year ago I bought a Flick Stadimeter from Schick Incorporated (1942). I used it at sea to check its mirrors but they were out of line. I had another stadimeter and radar to check. Also the mechanic needs a brush and some grease. Does somebody have advice with what to clean it and what kind of grease to use? I can come up with some awnsers but maybe there are people on the list who have experience with it. Also it is missing the rubber ring between the eye and the bino part. Can you still order them some where? Basicly it needs to be taken apart completly and needs a good clean up. It is still in perfect condition. Maybe I need a new mirror, I am not sure yet. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, Marty
