Looking for a few 0.96" telescope eye pieces or an adapter that would let me use my 1.25" eye pieces in a 0.96" telescope.

I bought a cheap little 70mm wide field telescope for $2 at a garage sale thinking I would turn it into a little grab and go for looking at the moon and large star clusters. It didn't have any eye pieces with it so I need to either find an adapter to let me use my existing 1.25" lenses with it or find some 0.96" lenses to use with it. Thought I would check here first. Give a shout if you have the adapter I need or some eye pieces you want to sell.

Does the.96 eyepiece holder screw out ?
Never seen a .96 to 1.25 adapter.
I've seen some go the other way.
Got any pics ?
Preferably close ups.
 
It's a little short tube refractor with a 90 degree diagonal. I saw an adapter on Amazon and ebay but thought I'd shout out here first.

No longer needed. I found a COMPLETE Konus KJ-6 60 mm telescope setup today at Goodwill for $10 dollars and ALL the parts are interchangeable with the little short tube refractor I was needing lenses for. Even the finder scope. Looked at the moon tonight with both of them and was pleased with both telescopes. What is even better is the KJ-6's diagonal has the 0.96 to 1-1/4" adapter I wanted so not only do I now have two 0.96 eyepieces and a moon filter for use in both units but I can also use my existing 1-1/4 eyepieces like I really wanted to, at least the lighter weight ones. Neither scope would support heavy glass.

Very rare to find a complete setup like this. It was lying about in parts as someone had pulled every thing out of its carry bag, and scattered it about on the bottom of a rack, but they missed a little parts bag at the bottom of case. I saw the tube first, then the carry case, then the tripod, then found all the parts and lenses in the bag at the bottom of the case.

I was stoked. The guy at the register was pretty stoked about it to when he found out it was a complete setup.

Sorry, excited and posted more than I needed to.
