I obtained one, that does not seem to have a ajustable eye-piece.. did they make one like that or am I missing something?? ( the only way I can see thru it clearly with these old eyes is wearing my prescription glasses.. )

According to Stroebel's scope book. The Balvar 8, didn't have a adjustable objective.

There is no adjustment on the objective lens (front), but there is, at least on both of mine, an adjustment for the ocular lens (rear). A locking ring secures the rear eyepiece from rotating; loosen the serrated locking ring, and turn the eyepiece in or out as necessary.

Problem solved.. I ran into a guy that knew what he was doing.. had the adjustment issue fixed in about 10 seconds.. ( thanks Ted) It now works fine, not the clearest scope I've ever seen, but very 'usable' Bob

Trust me, when your eyes are as old as that trusty scope, they won't be their clearest either.

Do you have the B&L Kaharsky mounts for it?
