Advice please. I've recently dropped my Swift HHS 828s and broken one of the twist up eye-cups. I've taped up a temporary repair but am looking to get them repaired properly, and cleaned and serviced at the same time. Is there an official Swift service centre in the UK. If not, any recommendations?

I've not tried them, but I know this guy gets mentioned.

You could try giving Glasgow Binocular Repairs a ring. You will have to google the number. His name is Dougie and he does the servicing for RSPB, Viking, Kowa and most other makes. I suppose the only issue is whether he can get the parts for Swift optics.

You could try Pyser, they are the main distributors (well, they were when I bought mine in 2006).

Hello

I know it’s been a long time but I’m wondering if you ever found anywhere to help with this repair..? I have a similar issue!
