Hi Marnix,
I would recommend taking the binos to Maxwells. They are the agents
and would have all of the necessary tools for repairs. They also may
give you a good deal if they turn out to be non-repairable. If they
are still under warranty they will probably repair for free and
refund the quotation fee. Most repair places charge for a quote these
days, saves them being lumbered with the time and cost of doing a
quote and never hearing from the owner of the quoted item again.
I have just had a rather dramatic accident with a Pentax PF80ED
scope, it had fallen off the tripod and broke in two when it hit the
ground. I sent it to the Australian agents for a repair quote, for
insurance. The quote came back as non-repairable, but with the offer
of a new unit at wholesale price. The crazy thing about the incident
was that the insurance company wanted to use their own supplier,
whose price was 50% dearer!
Good luck with the Nikons,
Cheers,
Carl Clifford
