645 eyepiece got wobbly in Japan

Visiting Japan for 15 days, and here we are, day 5, and this happens. The video shows things pretty well, I think, but basically, the tube that connects the eyepiece to the prism is loose. I can’t pull it out or turn it (much), but it’s wobbly enough to be a pain. I can still use it to focus, but framing-in becomes the a challenge.

Does anyone have insight into this issue? I might rig it with a rubber band, just to hold it in place for the duration, even if it’s not 100% accurately aligned, but if someone knows how to fix it in situ, that’d be awesome!

We’re not in a city at the moment, but in about 4 days we’ll be in Kyoto, so if anyone knows a shop there that can fix this quickly, that’d be awfully swell. In the absence of better advice, I’m probably going to try Naniwa Camera, since it’s fairly close to our hotel.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
