I have a pair of 7x26 B&L Audubon Customs that I have had for years. They have been a great pair of bins for my use. Recently, one of the sides started to fog on me during wet days. I have sent them back to the factory in the US and they said they were too old to repair. Does anyone know if there is a company that may be able to fix and re-gas binos like these? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

They Cant be re-charged with gas because they have no seals..the design is basically an open body design..The old metal body is a bit more closed than later designs but still not water or fog proof at any rate...If it didnt have anything broken,only moist inside,I dont know what prevented the Bushnell repair dept to clean and dry the optics...If this was not in their hand to get done,It is Bushnell policy to offer You a similar pair(in this case the last Custom Elite )at a replacement price...They offered this to me and replaced an old pair,that by the way they lost in their factory,for a new custom at a minimum price.
Call them again and request this from a customer service agent.Unfortunately and despite the excellent optics of the new version,You will get a non waterproof binocular anyway.
