have a C-8 of similar vintage.
You may want to Google and see if there is any amateur astronomy club near you, they may know someone local to do such things. Otherwise, I would think calling Celestron would be your best bet (see link below). Celestron probably can refurbish the whole scope for you.
I have found the C-8 to have good optics but the mounting and tripod are the weak spots. In my youth I always dreamed about getting a little Questar 3.5, maybe it's time 8-).
