Hi all, thank you all for your suggestions. here's whats happening... (1) marked everything for easy reassembly. (2) stripped the scope with the scope right side up except for the cooling fan which should be ok to soak and if it isn't I have never actually used it anyway. (3) currently soaking primary in filtered water and one small drop of dish-washing liquid. (4) when Myra gets home from town with the sterilized cotton batten we will either swirl or dry depending upon how the mold has come off in the soaking. (5) swirl and dry the secondary and then put it all back together.
Let you all know how it works after a clear night.
Brian
