Thank you - if I get stuck I will let you know ! - I know what you mean about enjoying these old binoculars - the oldest in my collection is 110 years old - it has been cleaned and aligned and is now a joy to use - the quality of the optics is superb (Zeiss)....

Yes it should be possible,if you undo the beauty rigs ( cover over the objective lens) you should be able to get to the retaining ring that secures the objective lens into the body

This is really great stuff - I have a collection of old binoculars and I usually entrust the overhaul to a professional firm, this of course it is costly - out of respect for the binocular I have not wanted to dismantle them myself just in case I did some damage - with videos like this I feel I could attempt one myself - I have a lovely old Wermacht Voigtlander that I might try - if you have the time to produce more videos like this it would be much appreciated - great stuff - Thanks

many thanks,i do it because I enjoy cleaning them and restoring them to what they were,if you need any help let me know

many thanks for showing me how to do this i have a pair of ww2 dienstglas made by zeiss and the cost to get cleaned was made £90,was told they were worth only £45 so looked this up,will tell you how i get on

I have had a few requests for a video showing the servicing of the bmj 10x50 roof dialyts,so im in the middle of that at the moment should have it ready soon

+Bino Mangler Hello good night,What is the name of this tool yellow?

Hello Sch Cce,the yellow tool is known as a strap wrench or a boa wrench I hope this helps

Is there any place that you can get screws to replace ones that have been damaged. Recently bought a pair of Dainglas binos but several of the screws have been damaged on the top. Thanks for the excellent videos

Hello there. I have a question - do horizontal reticle pattern ( netting ) is inside the the right lens , or deeper inside the binoculars. ( Sorry for my English, hope You understood ).

I have a ww1 Galilean type binocular with 1 loose objective lens. Is it possible to fix the eyepiece and make it "useable"? Thanks for the help

Any idea where I can sell a pair of these? Great condition, have markings.

Yes I'm sure they are the ones you are looking for,it can be a daunting task at first doing them on your own,email me on binodoc@btinternet.com I'm happy to do them for you for nothing can't have a war vets binos going to ruin

Do you ever do British KERSHAW 6X30 WW2 ?

Thanks, what you call the yallow tools, it's not clear for me..... Strap?!

Hello ! query ... do you have any idea what paint or material is used to repair the chipped paint of the carl zeiss of the 20s, 40s ... it is like a hard textured paint. thank you very much?

Hello Sir! I recently bought a pair of Carl Zeiss Jena Deltar 8x40 binoculars. They are in serviceable shape but could use some cleaning. There is some mystery white substance on the eyepieces and middle section that seems to be preventing me from flexing the binos. Any help would be much appreciated!

I actually have a French Huet model...is it different?

I think I have a very similar pair of these, really liked them, but for some reason one of the lens are jammed so, i can' tricks it at all, do you guys have any idea why, or how I can loosen it?

Hi,do mean you can't focus them?because the the knurled pat will not move at all?there is a way to free it but its a bit to long winded for here my email is FallgelbAtlantik @hotmail.com I can explain more via that email if you want.

Hello! Are you still in business? I want to repair an 6x30 Voigtländer Dienstglas, the right focuser is damaged, lenses are intact. It has some dents, so removal procedure is no longer possible. Is there any other option?

Hello, I have the problem that the left ocular of my service glass doesn't moves the mechanics etc. in the inside of the glass when turned. It is strange, but when I pull the ocular a little bit, sometimes the system works and I can sharpen the glass a little bit, but if I adjust more it fails again, as if the system works only on tiny spots ... also i am unfortunately not able to open the ocular right now because this (anti-clockwise) "scala-part" is very very tight and I can't separate it from the other part of the ocular ...

How much would it cost to have the internals cleaned profesionally?. I have a pair of my grandads mark 2 1941 Kershaw binoculars he used in Burma. Going to have to replace the eye cups and there is a bit of fungus(I think) on the lense but otherwise good condition.

Hi, I think most charge between £60 -80,as they were used in Burma they may well have fungus from the humid conditions,this can be fixed,the eye cups you can replace with modern repro ones,these I believe can be found on ebay for a few quid,

Thanks. Had a look on ebay and found these, www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220739591576?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I think they are the correct ones? What I think is fungus is black mouldy fuzzy looking dots/marks, its in need of cleaning but dont think id have the confidence doing it myself.

My problem is, that I can not turn the diopter because it only moves a few millimeters and wont move any further, how do I fix that? Maybe the grease is old and porous? Edit: I have found the problem. The threads where the diopter cap screws on are damaged... hopefully I will find some replacement parts for it.

Hi you need to remove the diopter completely you should see a ring below the knurled part of the diopter,this normally has markings on it,it can be separated from the main body of the diopter,hold this ring firmly and turn the diopter clock wise ( it's a left hand thread so it will undo)

Once you have removed the diopter you can take out the 3 retaining screws wipe out all the old grease and replace it
