Repairs

I have an older set of Minox  10x52 BD BR.  Great glass.  The eye pieces are tweaked. One won’t screw back on the threads. The other is stuck.  I sent to Minox (blaser USA) and they said Minox doesn’t repair these older ones anymore.  They did give me a nice discount on their new X active.  Which I got and are decent not great.  
 

anyone know where I can get them repaired.  There is a guy or shop called Suddath and he said these are two new for him.  That was the only independent repair I could locate on the web.  They are about 15 years old 

 

thanks for ay help

I would look for a machinist that might have a thread file set. with those fine threads probably just have some light deformation that could be coaxed out by hand. I would think maybe outdoorsmans might be able to hook you up with the shop they use. They make some rally fine threads on some of their parts.

there is a guy out of Montana that everyone sends their Doctor 15's to get worked on. Can't remember his name but i'm sure someone on here has used him

Baker Marine repairs binoculars.   Astronomy crowd uses Baker Marine, Suddarth and a few others.  Try a search @ Cloudy Nights or Astromart.  You might try a pointy tool to chase the aluminum threads, likely the starter threads have material embedded which you might be able to remove.  A dental pick may do the trick.
