Does anyone repair L12A1 7X42 Avimo Prismatic Binoculars?

[bigduke6]

A few years ago I paid an "expert" to refurbish a pair of Barr & Stroud 7x50 Naval binoculars for me but I regretted it because they came back with one side showing spotted vision. When I complained about this I was told that special jigs were required to re-glue the prism which were no longer available and so I would have to accept it as it is.

A jig can be made very easy and doesn't have to be a tool room example, although not for a Barr & Stroud the pic should give an idea, as Peter said using balsam you can redo till the cows come home.......

A very simple jig below, Heath Robinson yes but does the job....




A link below is a repair to Binocular Prismatic No5 may be of interest to some, includes the home made Jig above.
