Noticed lately that my pressure after being adjusted for viewing was leaking a bit as I had to re adjust more often during a session.

Looked in my bag of scope stuff and I had two sets of o rings marked 32 and 34.

I use the smaller on the front because it seems easier to rethread the cap on after a burb.

Ive got some of the High Vacuum Grease Lunt recommends in stock also.

Its an easy job and should solve the problem. 
I got this scope refurbished from Lunt in 2019 and this is the 3rd set of o rings it’s gone thru.

Now I’m ready for a sunny day

Dan
