Sorry to return to such a well plowed field but I could find nothing in the archives. Does anyone know who might have a go a repairing my Nikon Monarchs? My preference would be in Sydney but anywhere will do. Ciao

G’day Peter et al.
My Nikon Monarchs are being held together by dental floss after the threaded part of one eyepiece disintegrated over time to the point where I lost it in the garden for half a day. The whole eyepeice needs replacing. Mine is the model before the current one and the twist in and out eyepieces are definitely a problem. Are they better with the new model?
Nikon in Melbourne do good repair work in my experience. Hopefully they will agree to fix my current problem under warranty.
See:

for my dental floss modification.

Ah, that old problem. Not sure if they’re any better now. I wear glasses, so they’re always wound down, which probably protects them from damage.

Chris, I don’t know the answer, but just for interest, what has gone wrong with them? I’ve got Monarchs, and I’m interested to know how robust they are.
Depending on the model, they aren’t very expensive online, so replacement might be a viable option. I think my 8x42s cost less than $350 a year or so ago.

Chris,
Try Nikon Australia http://www.nikon.com.au/en_AU/ servicecentres.page? They should be able to help.
