So i using my scope and all of a sudden while using my corse focus knob the stage just fell. Now it wont go up unles i pull it up with my hands. Is it easy to fix?

Could be you've lost your plastic fine focus gear. If so, it's a fairly easy fix. Wasn't this just recently discussed?

Fixed!
When i purchased the scope the gentleman informed me that he upgraded the gears to brass/metal. Verified it today.
I took apart the knob assembly and discovered the issue. The small focus gear came off probably due to the fact that i loosened the adjustment knob a bit to much.
Anyway all good now.
I repaired a burned out USB port on a cellphone today too! I'm on a roll.
