Swaro Habicht 8x56 SLC

[JSMITT6]

I found these in my dad’s garage the other day. Are they worth paying Swaro to fix or should I toss them?

No idea on if they are even repairable from Swaro or not. Thought I’d ask here first.

If you decide to toss em, can I have em?

If they were mine, I'd send them in.
It'll cost you about $50 to ship them to Swarovski (including insurance). They will throughly go over the binoculars and then give you a breakdown of the cost to repair.
You might be surprised on how little they will charge for what they will do. You will receive back, pretty much a brand new pair of binoculars.
If you decide you don't want to go through with what Swarovski outlined for the repairs, they'll just ship them back to you.

Cheers

Send them into SWAROVSKI and get whatever needs to be fixed done. They’re worth $1000-$1400

Those are trash and need to be properly disposed of. I’ll PM you my address. Happy to help!

Thanks for the responses. I’ve seen them on eBay for sub $1k and didn’t want to throw more than that into them. I’ll reach out to swaro and see what they have to say.

I'd be REALLY surprised if they would cost more than $200 to fix.

I just received my 10x42 SLC NEU's back from Swarovski about a month ago.
The reason I sent them was that one of the objective lenses was scratched, and I wanted it repaired.

They evaluated, and replaced both objective lenses, both prisms, new chassis, new armor full culmination, etc...
All for the astronomical cost of $37.
That included shipping back to me.

Cheers

What is wrong with them?

You guys aren’t helping me.

Crazy, $37?! I’ll update this with what Swaro says. Thanks for all the replies
