Spring cleaning yeilds scope

I was cleaning my house and found two scopes I didn't even know I had. I don't remember buying them. One is an old Weaver K6 it is a steel tube 6X40mm not the new 6X38mm. The other one is a Tasco #615W 1.75-5X40mm. Does anyone know where I can send the Weaver to have it cleaned and worked on. I want to restore it and the "new" Weaver doesn't work on the old US scopes.

Weaver Scope Repair service went out of business. They told me no one else would repair it either. I just wanted it cleaned and nitrogen charged.

That sounds like a nice bonus find. I need something along that line when I clean so that I can scope my belgian browning and give it a go. I have never fired the thing.
