I was under the impression that there was a section in the Bird Forums
for selling binoculars, but I am not finding it. Can anyone help as to the
location here, or other places to sell. Note that I am fully aware of eBay
and would use it as a last resort.
I have an unused pair of Nikon 8x32 SE...
I live in a third world country where nothing is available and services are limited. My chances of finding a machinist of that caliber and the materials he would require are nil.
A 3D print job in rubberized plastic could be ordered online from anywhere , and sent anywhere in the world, for...
I had not thought of the possibility of adjusting a pair or eyeglasses to sit further from the eye for use with the SE eye cups folded down. I actually have spare eyeglasses in my prescription that were abandoned for no other reason than style. One of them could be used. Thank you very much for...
The blackouts that I am experiencing are caused by eye distance from the lens.
I have no problem using the SE with cups folded out, and my eyeglasses not in use.
Likewise, I can correct the problem by bracing the SE at the correct distance from my eyeglasses using my fingers and thumbs as...
After reading somewhere how bicycle inner tube rings were inserted underneath the partially folded Nikon SE eye cups in order to create a cup depth that was compatible with eyeglass wearers to combat the blackout problem, I started to fiddle with the eyecups without using the inner tube rings...
After reading Optic Nut's post above, I did find an eBay seller who fabricated eyecups, however ofter reading the details on his page it appears that he casts them from hard plastic, and that they would not be foldable. To make sure I think he would have to be contacted to clarify exactly what...
Mike, If you had a pair of these purchased in 1992 and the eyecups had been rolled down and untreated for 23 years, what would you do:
1. Leave them rolled down permanently and treat the outsides periodically with protectant
2. Roll them up and leave them up, and treat periodically (note that I...
Hello Mike V.
I have read through the link you provided in your post, above. I found the model number where you said it was, "on the housing of the left eyepiece". Now it is absolutely confirmed that I have the 61-7261 model. Thanks for the detailed write up on these.
I called Bushnell today...
I found the number AA0723 stamped on the front of the hinge after "Japan". I am assuming that it is the serial number.
Yes, there are model numbers associated with Custom Compacts and they are 6 digit numbers, with a dash, following this format: xx-xxxx.
I have a pair of metal-bodied Bausch and Lomb 7x26 Custom Compact Binoculars that were purchased new on 2/14/1992, with green-coated lenses, serial number AA0723, and marked National Audubon Society.
Does anyone know what model number these would be?
Were these the last metal-bodied ones produced?
The Nikon 8x32 SE Binoculars are still available at this USA online retailer for US$729.95 with free shipping in the USA.

I had actually found that Duluth Pack Shell Bag the other day when googling. It is close to my idea of a good bag, but the dimensions and shape are a little off. Nevertheless, I have put it on my list of bags to consider.
RJM, Please allow my to clarify how the the Nikon SE Case is not working for me:
1. The ribbing on the upper edge of my Nikon SE case is in tatters after only having the case for 2 months. It looks terrible, as if the case is now 25 years old.
2. The case should have a detachable strap. (yes...
