WTB Kowa lens covers

Looking for clear, see thru lens covers for Kowa TSN-1. Does anyone offer them for this old model? I just had Kowa go over my 30 year old scope and it’s like new. I’d like to make an effort to protect the lenses.

You may want to verify you have threads for a filter.  My TSN1 does not have threads for a filter.  My brother does. Based on his guidance I purchased one, and received a surprise when I went to add it to my scope.

Thanks for pointing that out. I assumed it was threaded. It is not.

I am glad my "learning" experience was useful.....  I ordered a camera lense filter (82 mm if my notes are correct). The camera lens covers have worked on other scopes. The large diameters and small threads make things interesting when installing them..
