So I've been out of shooting for over a decade and just got back. Today I took out this old Aimpoint sight that I have, and I haven't looked at it since like 1999, I believe. It still looks pretty good, but the old batteries seems to have leaked or something, and the leakage is greenish. I used a wrench to unscrew the cap. And now I can't remove the batteries. It seems to have sealed itself in or something. Is this sight ruined? Can I do anything to fix it? It's over 14 years old, so imagine that it's out of date and not worth fixing. Am I right? Should I just donate it to Goodwill?
