Well that’s not what I’m suggesting, but it is the title of an article that I found this morning (Bill please look away now!)
It offers a variety of advice ranging from the blatantly obvious, to the dubious, to the dangerous. And in doing so it may set a new low,
see: https://deanoptics.com/how-to-repair-binoculars-at-home/
(the hot links in the article lead to even more information of the same quality)
While it's clear that English is not the author's first language, what's astonishing is his presumption
e.g. at the end he notes:
‘This guide was to acquaint you with how to repair binoculars at home. And I am pretty much sure I have been successful in doing so.
You will not have to run to an optics store if you are seeing two objects through your binoculars when there is actually one, because now you can fix their alignment conveniently.’
. . . so what more could you ask for?
Maybe the author is a professional repairer in need of more work?
Perhaps we should start a new thread ‘Most dangerous advice about binoculars ever’?
