Any information on my Tasco Halley's Comet Series 8x56 binoculars would be appreciated, I have found nothing online.

It was marketed to take advantage of the Comet Halley frenzy, But that was 32 years ago. I have been inside thousands of binoculars, but have never had this model in my hands. That is not a comentary on quality, just a comment that you might not find much information anywhere you look. Bill

I was surprised when I used it the first time, far better than I was expecting from a Tasco binocular. The binoculars were marked jb101.

That means the OEM was Hifumi Kogaku Kikai Co. Ltd. That probably means nothing to you. But, if you can find someone more opto-geeky than me, you might get some more information. Welcome. Bill

Ed's picture looks like the binoculars I found at an estate sale. Paid 30.00 for them.

$30! That sounds like a steal. How are they?
