I was out this morning glassing for deer and noticed my binos need a good cleaning and not just the outer lenses but inside also, they are kowa brand and about 55-60 years old,how would you guys handle this?,I dont want to damage these as they are not only very good optics but also kinda like a family heirloom. Once again thanks for the help |

Jeff, I probably didnt explain myself well enough, I want to take the binos apart and clean the internal lenses also and am not sure if it is ok to do this and if so can I use regular cleaners as I would for the external glass |

If you want the insides cleaned, find a good camera shop and then listen to who they tell you to go to. That's a pro job to get everything put back correctly.

I would contact
Captain's Nautical Supplies
2500 15th Ave West Seattle, WA 98119 USA ATTN: Bill Cook 206-283-7242 800-448-2278 Don't even think of doing it yourself. I tried that with a decent but dirty binocular. Now they are clean, but have quadruple vision.
