UK technician to clean lenses and service on Televid 77 (non-APO version) Angled Spotting Scope.

I think my Televid 77 could do with a clean. Even on very clear days, the view is slightly hazy. I have read that this is not uncommon on the Televid 77 Spotter Scopes and that they usually benefit considerably for a clean and service. Has anyone had good experience with a UK technician in this field? I am not sure a regular binocular man would be the correct choice as their work commonly revolves around convergence, rather than acuity, although on older prismatic binoculars, they may have to clean the prism surfaces but these are often uncoated so can be cleaned more simply or vigorously than the coated lenses on my Televid 77. The alternative would be to part exchange it for a Televid 82.

You could start with Leica Mayfair. They do/did have technicians on site, but what they can do seems to be a moving feast.

I would probably be cheaper part exchanging for a Televid 82 than getting Mayfair to service the 77.
