I just returned from the local Goodwill store, ran a search and landed on this thread. It's nice to know these bins are decent, for what they are, but I need to be careful with bumping it - throwing the alignment off.
Good pick-up. If they were in any kind of decent shape- I hope that you bought them. They are awesome IMO; and that is a steal of a deal.
What will Really make you realize how good those are ( esp. if you got a good sample)- is to sit down with one of those 40+ year old Bushnell 6x25 compacts and compare to new samples of a Swaro 8x20, a Leica 8x20 , Zeiss 8x20 and a Nikon 8x20. Spend some time looking through all of them- and you would be blown away at how good those Bushnell compacts are.
IMO- that 6x25 is the better one of the same era compared to the 7x26. Could also just be how nice a 6x view is and how big of a FOV that those 6's have ( I think it is 8 deg.- 420/1000)
