Televue Barlow Repair

[oreed]

I dropped my Televue 2x Barlow and bent the locking nut thread. I tried to straighten it but ended up damaging it further, so when you screw it in the brass ring inside moves out of alignment of the screw thread. Would anyone know of any company in the UK that repairs Televue's or replace the hand tightening nut?

Ouch!

I have some spare M3 and M4 Nylon thumbscrews if you can re-tap the hole.....

Thanks, appreciated. The thread itself appears to be fine but the flat end of the thumb nut inside the body has broken, which means I would have to break the rest off to remove the thumbnut, not sure of the size, I'll check.

The thread appears to be 3mm
