Meanwhile, I've contacted S.K. Grimes about cleaning the glass lenses. They're willing to have a go at the cap, as well; but I'd prefer to get the thing off myself so I can properly determine if the lenses are worth investing in a pro cleaning. Will keep you posted . . .
Again: Many thanks for your assistance!
