Picture reversal assembly is knocked WAY off.

The windage adjustment lever pushes or retracts this assembly which is spring loaded on 2 axis opposite the windage and elevation adjustment knobs.

You would need to remove the ocular assembly which is threaded in. ( business end of the scope. )

Remove the picture reversal assembly and inspect the spring loaded mechanism; if nothing is damaged ( most likely isn't, if it is; fix is simply bending things back into shape. ) you should be able to reassemble the scope to proper working order.

I'de suggest cleaning the grease off everything, relube it, replace Orings as necessary and purge the inside of the scope with a 2-3 second blast of duster gas before reassembly.

Or just buy a better Elcan... G&P is about as bad as it gets I'm sorry to say.

You could also try slacking off the windage completely, then tapping the side of the scope with a hammer ( or rock like Specs suggested lol. )
