I would like to know if anyone could point me in the direction of someone that does collimating and the like on older Porro Bins? I have two vintage pairs that might need a tune-up? Thanks, Bryce...
I have a couple of vintage sorts of binocular I was thinking about sending to Anacortes Telescope and Wild Bird. I have personally never used them, but they were recommended to me by others.
Anacortes Telescope and Wild Bird is a class outfit that treats customers right. My experiences as a purchaser have been great and the repair customers I know have been satisfied.
Hi Bob, Bill Cook has left Captains Nautical Supply, he posted this on Cloudy Nights. He now works for Ft. Lewis just south of Tacoma, WA. This would be Govt. work I would think.
Regards,Steve
I have had at least seven Porro binoculars collimated or repaired by Cory. Only once did I have to return one for a slight adjustment. One was at least sixty years-old. His email address is [email protected]
I know this is an old thread but, thought it would be good to let others know how it went. I recieved today one of the Binoculars that I sent to Cory at Suddarth Optical Repair. It is a Pentax 8x30 vintage porro made in Japan. I recieved the glass in A++ condition. They guarantee it to arrive collimated! If not they will take care of shipping expenses and do it again! They took them apart cleaned, collimated and adjusted right eye diopter. I'm very happy to say they did an excellent job, can't wait to get the 6x30 & 7x50 back! These are all solid Japanese porro's that are very servicable and built really well! Highly recommend there service and thank you to those that originaly posted on this thread!!! Bryce...
