I have a Merit Optical suction cup mounted diopter which I use on my specs for range muzzleloading shooting.
The rubber suction cup has gone hard in the twenty plus years I have used it. The mechanical bit still works well.
I am trying to keep the suction cup supple by using a small amount of automotive rubber grease with limited sucess.
It won't last forever.
I have emailed the Merit corporation twice in 2 weeks but received no answer on any possible replacement space.
Are these blokes still in business or are they into ignoring overseas inquiries?
Has anyone had to repair /replace their suction cup. I am open to suggestions.
A complete replacement down here in Australia will set me back Au$250 including shipping, so I am unwilling to travel down that road.
If no suction rubber is available I might consider unscrewing the diopter mechanism from the rubber and make a bracket to clip to my specs.
Any ideas on solving this problem, fellas?
Thanks
Grahame
