I have given up on binocular repair. About 15 years ago I tried to get my 80’s era Fujinon’s re-colimated by the repair guy at Captains in Seattle but he gave up after a valiant attempt. I don’t recall the technical reason. Then a couple of years ago I sent my Swift Audubons to a shop in Oklahoma for alignment. 8 months later they came back as unrepairable. I still use them, but have to fiddle with the focus.
I have a pair of Nikon Diplomat 8x23AS from the 90’s which need an eye cup replaced but I can’t find the part online. I could send them to Mikon, but there’s no certainty they have the part either. It’s not worth the $50 shipping to find out.
Anyhow, it would be great to have a local optical repair service. Maybe there just isn’t a market for that around here. There are certainly plenty of people with binoculars. Maybe replacement is just easier than repair, which is sad.
