'Nuther dumb question; a few years ago I bought a Zeiss Conquest 3.5-10X 44 scope with a German #4 reticle. The #4 reticle seemed like good idea at the time. Will Zeiss change the reticle to a duplex type or am I SOL?

To my knowledge yes they will for a fee. Probably best to contact them at 800-441-3005.

Definitely call them.. I've heard various things as to whether or not they will on the older conquest series now since they have shifted to the new HD line.
We measure it with a micrometer, mark it with a crayon, and cut it with a chainsaw.

I rang the Zeiss repair facility in Arnold, MO again last week. Same story as two weeks prior to that. Zeiss has recently stopped changing out reticles in their Conquest scopes. I needed two 50MM Conquests with plex reticles changed to #4s. I asked to whom I might express my concern regarding this policy change. I was told to email Carol Higgins at carol.higgins@zeiss.com in Zeiss' Customer Service Department. Carol is a very knowledgeable CS person, has very helpful each time I have had a question over the years, and has been with Zeiss a very long time.  If this move by Zeiss is to be reversed, it will take a lot of emails protesting their action. Please spread the word.
