It's about as big as a French horn, about as heavy as a bowling ball, says "AEG Telefunken 8X Sight Ref by Tait" on the label. I turned it on, it has power, the reticle focus works, but when I ran it through every possible near/far and focus combination it still failed to really change a whole lot, giving me only a very blurry and not very bright image of the corner of my (switched off) television at about 30' with a little bit of light in the room from behind the scope.
I'm thinking it's probably meant to do more and is probably giving me suboptimal results. It could be something as simple as knobs not being connected, or maybe the innards are toast, I don't know. Does anyone have trouble shooting steps, or the website of a reputable or at least semi-reputable company that fixes these things? So far I'm into this thing for $0, I'm probably not willing to go too much more than $200 to get it up.
It looks like this:

This isn't my ebay ad, I'm not schilling.
