In any event if you cant fix it you can have lots of fun with one Eye Piece.. get a cheap 5 meg camera and watch via your computer screen.
If its like astronomy for you in no time at all you will want another...thats the way it goes.
Pity I had photos that I only deleted last week....I think I posted them here...

At least you don't have to worry about cloudy nights as with astronomy.
