Hello forum,
8x42 Adlerblick

Can anyone help, the adjustable viewing eyepiece has become detached from the main part of the binocular cannot establish how this is attaches. Any help or if a name of local repairer would be greatly appreciated

Hi Phillip:

You don't need a repairman; you need a jeweler's flathead screwdriver.

Remove the soft rubber eyecup. Under it, you should see 3 setscrews equispaced around the diopter ring—a couple have come loose. Position them as far down on the EP as you can and tighten all three. You won't have "Zero Diopters" set, but most folks don't pay attention to that, anyway. :cat:

Cheers,

Bill

Thank me when you get it fixed; I have been away from the bench too long. They could have changed things in the meantime.

But the Adlerblick is basically the old Celestron Ultima series and the Swift Ultralite series ... with different cosmetics, of course.

Repaired thanks

Don't I wish!? No, I will still be hated by some for not pussyfooting around and offering what I THINK as opposed to what I KNOW.

A dirty job? Yes. Necessary? Still yes.

I wish my shoulders were as broad as my belly!
