Not me Shawn, but Sausageman had a similar calamity at IISAC this year. I haven't heard whether he repaired the finder or bought a new one. When his was pulled apart, there was a melt track across the back of the inside of the finder (as well as the cross hairs of course) and the finder optics were clouded as a result.

If you are contemplating perhaps just replacing the cross hairs, I suggest you check the optics for any clouding, and see if it can be cleaned without damaging any coatings on the lenses.

Sorry to hear about the damage. It's just so easily done...

Al.
