Vintage rifle scope repair

Hi, I've got an old Mossberg RF-1 Rangefinder scope in great condition except the crosshairs are broken, does anyone know of someone who works on these old scopes? 
Thanks
Ken

    Google Iron Site....that is the only guy I can think of that might work on it.    He's a very personable guy to deal with too.

    Dan submitted the following:  “I stick to replacing crosshair wires on ONLY Unertl & Lyman & * external adjustment scopes and the Weaver 330 and M73B1 sniper scopes as well. No cleaning or other repairs. Turnaround time is immediate, as I usually get the scopes fixed and back in the next day’s mail. No 6 or 8 month wait...Price for crosshair wire replacement is $85 and I’ll pay return shipping. For Do It Yourselfer’s, I also sell the best crosshair wire money can buy for about 20 years now. Its annealed Tungsten, is very strong & shows up Jet Black when installed. I have two diameters to choose from. Medium (.0015”) and Fine (.0005”). Price is $15 per 10 foot length of either wire. I'll pay return shipping to anywhere in the lower 48. USA sales ONLY, please. US Postal Money Orders ONLY, please.
    Please communicate by email.”

    Iron sight rebuilt  an older Weaver 2.5 x5  for me and did an excellent job.

    Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I've written Dan a couple of times, but he has yet to get back to me so I'll try Iron sights next. I have the original rifle that this scope goes to as well and would love to have the entire thing up and running.
