Hi Faith,
That's a pretty easy fix for any 1/2 decent handyman.
You just need to recess a small part of the bottom of the rocker box, around the altitude encoder, to let the encoder sit down enough to clear the mirror box, when the scope moves in altitude. There are plenty of ways to do this. eg. router, chisel etc etc. There should be plenty of meat in the rocker box base, to allow for this.
This is done at the construction stage on many scopes to get the eyepiece height as low as possible.
Cheers
