Adjusting a Fecker Scope

I recently aquired a Fecker scope of about 8x. All I've ever read about adjusting them is that it's done in the center rather than at the front as is done with other external adjusting scopes. From photos it looked simple enough. But, when I got mine I find that the sleeve (?) between what appears to be a locking ring to the rear and an adjusting, or focusing ring, to the front, does not move. It has two screws through it, one on each side that seem to lock it in place. (Note: I haven't attempted loosen or disassemble anything until I find out how to do this right.) 

Can anyone take me through the steps to adjust this scope, or at least explain the theory to it's operation? 

Thanks, Jack

Jack,
The center sleeve does not rotate and the two screws are there to prevent that from happening. They are in slots in the tube so the erector lens can slide fore and aft for focusing. To adjust the scope merely loosen one of the locking rings and tighten the other thus moving the center sleeve. To focus (remove parallax) use the standard method of looking through the scope at a target set at the range you intend to shoot and move your head sideways or up and down. If the cross hairs appear to move the scope is not in focus so keep adjusting and head shaking until the cross hairs cease to move. Lock the center sleeve in place and record the settings for future reference.

The two screws on either side, lock the focusing ring. Back them off a bit, loosen the two locking rings and move the center cell to adjust. The center cell may be difficult to move at first, dried grease etc.
