Dear Örjan,
Thanks again!
No young black widows met so far...
I was [un]lucky that the broken wires were parallel, so I had one parallel pair in good condition, the other needs replacement. Before I hack a cross-wiring tool (a bit of plywood with a ~10cm circle with two orthogonal diameters, four pegs (~3mm wide) 90° apart located on that circle, the wire to be criss-crossed between the pegs forming the sight pattern, the metal ring - the part of my scope, - is to be centered in the circle under the wires - for soldering or glueing) - I decided to simply remove the damaged wires.
Now I have aesthetically more acceptable look through the scope.
Do I understand it correctly - I should align the (remaining) wires vertically - so that there would be visible limits for left-right image vandering, while the up-down image position in the scope is not so critical?
Warm regards,
Tony
