How can I order a tripod for the edu science astrolon 525?

You cannot -- parts are not available for this small imported telescope. You might be able to find a regular photo camera tripod that would work.

I have a 102 mm Astro-Nova telescope 525 power by eduscience that shows everything upside down. Is there a retailer that sells the proper piece? I cannot get in touch w/ the eduscience website or phone...

All astronomical telescopes show the image upside down. It's tradition and there is a good technical reason for this, but you can get an "erecting prism" to make the image upright. This does not have to come from Edu-Science if your eyepieces are the standard size (1.25 inch outside diameter). If you search Amazon or eBay for "erecting prism" you will find a few available. You probably won't want to pay the prices though.

Missing the finderscope on an edu-science 525 power

Don't bother putting a finder scope on this. It is not worth it.Spend the money for a Meade or Celestron. Both have relatively inexpensive starter scopes.
Below is a good scope from Orion for under $100

525 telescope but no instructions

No one will have a manual for this telescope, However here is a picture:
http://www.amazon.com/Elenco-Astrolon-525x-Refractor-Telescope/dp/B0019MYVMQ

This is a very simple refractor on an alt az mount. Sure wish you had NOT bought this "department store" telescope. It will be shaky and has a very small aperture. Read my TIPS on my profile page to find out how to improve a department store telescope.

When I look through the telescope all I see is black. I can look through the finderscope and see things. But I can't seem to see anything but black from the telescope. edu science 102mm Astro-Nova telescop...

Basics first - please don't get angry at the suggestions ......

1) On the main telescope, can you see the actual glass lenses at both ends of it (i.e. you've removed both of the lens caps).

2) If you remove the eyepiece (in broad daylight), can you hold it up to an indoor light and see clearly through it?

3) If you now look into the socket where the eyepiece goes, can you see any form of light (in daylight) or is it totally black?

A lot of smaller telescopes have caps both ends, and sometimes caps both ends of both parts, to stop debris getting in when in transit or swapping objectives.

I was given an edu science astrolon 525 power telescope but am missing two parts: the finderscope and the diagonal. Are there replacement parts for this telescope available?

You can buy a diagonal and finder-scope from many on-line retailers. You may need a .965 inch diagonal. Measure the hole in the back end of the telescope.

Diagonals are made in 3 sizes.... .965, 1.25, and 2 inch sizes.

Here are two retailers-

Reflector telescope 525 power bought at a yard sale with no instructions. Is there a manual or any information on how to use this product? I'm not even sure all the pieces are here.

You will not find a manual for that telescope. However Meade maintains a web site for their telescope manuals. Look under REFRACTOR or REFLECTOR for one similar to your telescope. They all go together in a similar fashion.

I'M MISSING THE ENTIRE EYE PIECE ASSEMBLY FOR 525 POWER TELESCOPE

You will NOT get 525 power from that small telescope. Yes I know the box said that but it was a lie.

An eyepiece might cost as much as you paid for the entire telescope. NEVER buy a telescope that advertises magnification on the outside of the box.

Here are some eyepieces:
