Default Binoculars: refurbish possible?

It should be. Also remember the prisms as well, If they are designed well
you can normally get things back together again accurately. Wear cotton
gloves etc, and check for smears and blooming effects. Make sure you
absolutely know which part went where as they can appear the same but not
quite be the same.

I've got an old (c.25 years) pair of binoculars which are "hazing" due
to age: I'm assuming that the haze is internal -- the four outside lens
surfaces get cleaned regularly.

I've often looked at doing it, but always chicken out when I start to
unscrew things: is it actually possible to dismantle the binoculars and
clean the inside lens surfaces?

Cheers
John
