- Dioptex 15x50 80 / 1000m binoculars have undergone amateur cleaning in home conditions. It was molded, flooded, covered with dust and sediment. The cleaning used was: isopropyl alcohol, solvent, soap, lens cleaning fluid, NO! copper grease!!!
I made a mistake! Copper grease cannot be used on aluminum components! Copper corrodes aluminum! ....butaprene adhesive for roughened gums and lining. In the background, music recorded from the loudspeakers: Mike Oldfield, Blizzard and Scorpions. Recorded: Philips HD camera.

I appreciate your hard work and patience in dismantling and reassembling your binocular 👌👍
Thanks and regards 💐
Love from Dehradun, India 🇮🇳🙏
Thank you A. J. 🙂 Glad you liked the movie 👍 Greetings and all the best 😀
I personally can’t get enough of Mike Oldfield and do I’ll be using this music to clean my Nikons , thanks for showing me how
Mike with his music is great for all kinds of work related to manual work :) I'm glad that the film was useful :) Regards!
@@langowski007Hello Sir,, my binoculars is covered with fungus, what has to be doned in order to clean it well
I love that Mike Oldfield chillout period music. Some of his best work. Most refreshing. A fan since I first heard his Tubular Bells in the 70s.

Excelente trabajo!! Excelente binocular ! Saludos desde Argentina!
Gracias por tus amables palabras y saludos :) Me alegra que te haya gustado el vídeo 👍 Saludos desde Polonia :)
THNKS FOR HELPING ME.
You're welcome :) Good luck! :)))
Like your job.
Thank You:) Im glad You like it!
@@langowski007 Do you from Poland?
I'm gonna buy you some little screwdrivers! 😂... Nice video, very helpful 👍
Thanks :) This is exactly what I missed and I bought this: D. It was great that the movie was helpful :) Regards 👍
Great video, an article on how to collimate would be interesting.
Thank you for your comment :) I put everything together and it works, but there are people who can see the decolimation in the horizontal plane less than 30 ', and there are people (it's not a joke) whose brain is able to "software" compensate for even the 3 * optical path junction of the binoculars! (children) - my mind has not grown up and it seems to me that without collimation everything is ok with the optics: D Regards :)
Thank you and love the music called crystal Clear,
i had a pair of 7x35 tento (russian)and cleaned mould and recollimated... another one was tasco(japan) 7x15x35...cleaned and recollimated without taking photos
Congratulations on your good memory and technical imagination 👍 Keep it up! It's worth saving old, good metal and glass equipment :) Regards!
thanks...
👏👏👏👍👍👍
Nice work. I think you can find new eyecaps for this nice binoculars, ir deserves it
The binoculars are fine, I am leaving it as is 👍 Thanks for watching 😎🙂 Regards 🙂

First of all, it was a very useful shot, thank you. However, I disassembled and reassembled the TENTO brand binoculars I had. But I could not provide a clear image on the left side, I could not do the fine detail while screwing the right lens back and forth sharpness adjustment, I would appreciate if you have technical support in this regard, thank you.
Hi! I am glad that the movie was useful, I am very pleased. Perhaps the right lens should be on the left? Try to replace the right lens with the left one (the big one in the front), it is the easiest one. It may also be useful to unscrew this lens slightly and spin it dry. At the front, the rims holding the lens have the shape of a cradle, as I remember. The lens may not be placed horizontally. Or If you have time, reassemble and compare the small lenses to the same alignment as the part that sharpens well.
@@langowski007 Hello, thank you for your response. I will try your suggestions as soon as possible, if I can not solve the problem, I will get back to you with pictures.
@@mustafakaleagas5345 I am glad that I could help. You will surely be able to repair your binoculars. Sure send photos! Good luck:)
@@langowski007 ok
I have also TENTO bro. Please suggest me the best way in India
Wow, good job. I'm going to do this with a used Zenith 10x50 binoculars. Any suggestions about the correct grease for the screw and the front lens assembly? Can I use copper grease for all?
I'm glad you like the film :) As for the grease, I made a mistake, instead of copper (because I had one ...) I should use aluminum grease or, I think, a tawot (copper grease corrodes aluminum - the lubricated element is aluminum ...) Use grease only where the binoculars bend. I unscrewed the front lens and applied it "on my feel". It was felt that the angle changes when screwing. Maybe it's worth marking with a felt-tip pen before unscrewing? However, after folding the sharpness is excellent, everything works fine. I tried to make the lenses identical in both positions. And I need replace bad grease soon. Greetings.
@@langowski007 Krzysztof Langowski thank you for the reply, very interesting....I have find that aluminum soap grease is the best into an Italian astronomy forum (as you wrote in description).
I have another question: today I used ethyl alcol to degrease and clean plastic part, but it ruined the black plastic (faded it):(
Any advice?
@@alexc.7561 A good plastic cleaner is Plak, a car plastic cleaner, black matt plastics and gives them shine. However, you need to repeat this chemistry from time to time. With ethyl alcohol and other chemistry you need to apply a little bit and see the effect.
can you please help. I disassembled the binoculars and reassembled them but what I did is showing double what should I do
If everything was ok before, it means that you did not put it in the way it was before. I think the prism is inserted backwards or the lenses. If the image is double on one telescope, you can compare the setting of all parts relative to the other working one. Did you take notes or photos before? If not, then by trial and error, you will submit again and you will be fine.
Thanks for your video! Do you have experience in nitrogen-filled military binoculars? For they are more sealed and ruggadized....
Hi 😎 I'm sorry, I can't help you.
Hi buddy. I have this too. but the left side completely distorts the image. so i wanted to remove the left side and use only one hand. How do I separate the hinge between the two?
Hi 👋 I remember thinking about it while disassembling the binoculars. In the end, I left them as they were and didn't separate them. I regret I could work on it ... Surely there is some access, maybe the silver hole between them can be disassembled ... Something feels that it may turn in the opposite direction, the flashlight will light up inside, maybe there is an incision that allows you to grab and unscrew this silver something ..

did you have to collimate them ?
I did not make the collimation, after folding the optics is ok.
hej. nie moge odkrecic tej nakretki z 9:10 . czy jest jakis sposób ?
Hej 👋 Pewnie się "zapiekła" z wiekiem.. Wd40 i odczekać. Odpukać o drewniany stół kantem nakretki ale ostrożnie (soczewka) może wtedy puści. Często mi pomagało opalenie plomieniem zapalniczki też z dozą ostrożności (znów soczewka aby nie pękła od plomienia) , może ten nagar w gwincie się lekko wtedy podgrzeje i uda się odkręcić, dobrze mieć jakąś rękawiczkę materiałową bo się można poparzyć a i mocno uchwycić póki ciepłe i próbować odkrecic. Albo potrzymać w gorącej (nie wrzącej) wodzie te całość, ciepło pomaga na zapiekłe gwinty itp. Powodzenia :)
لدي مثلها مفيذة وعملية
They used black goo to seal the metal flanges (joining tabs) on these 1970s metal binoculars. What was it and what to use in its place? Silicone would be a too strong bond I'm afraid.
Silicon as such, e.g. construction / modeling, is too strong when it dries up. There are silicones that do not dry and have a semi-fluid consistency. I have one in the tube, it is thick but it does not dry up. The name: silicone oil. It protects against moisture, it can be used from smearing the hinges on the door to smearing the gasket in the wristwatch. It is characterized by resistance to conditions such as moisture, "does not creak" on it, it is easy to unscrew something there always. I hope I helped with the answer :) Regards 👍
@@langowski007 I use silicone oil as preservative for plastics and rubber. I think it's more lubricant than sealant and it's fluid for sure, could evaporate and create haze. Don't you mix it up with some product brand name? I found something that may be better. It's called Hylomar Blue - a non-setting sealant or another is Hylomar Hylotyte Red - a semi-setting one. I just bought both online. Also I found online what they used back in the day and it's probably not produced any more. It was used for sealing petrol drums during the WW2, then formula was changed slightly after the war and in 1970s it apparently got out of use. Of today's products plummer's putty is closest to it but it's white or gray.

Where is your service center??
Hi 😎 In Poland 🇵🇱 🙂😀
@@langowski007 🤣🤣
Is TENTO old model is also service able ???
Is this viewer old or rare because I have one like it and I don't know if it is like that
Hello:) Today's binoculars are plastic boxes with poor optical values. The soviet ones, as I call it, are optically great, they are also made of metal. You can buy some new Nikon binoculars for $300 or an old tin one for $50 and I think it will be similar. In mine the prisms were flooded and I couldn't clean it, I can see it. You want to sell or keep your binoculars. Everyone will be pleased. Regards :)
Im done this in my 7×50 marine type binocular. Now working perfectly w/ perfect calibration like a new. 👉In your own risk to do this. The calibration or alignment is not easy.😂
It's great that it worked 👍 If you note everything down when disassembling, there will be no problem when assembling 🙂 I wish you successful use and observation with binoculars :) Regards 👍
Jeśli złożyłes ją i dziala bez kalimacji to miałeś wielkiego farta .Ja z olimpica 8x30 męczyłem się by pozbyć się podwójnego obrazu z dwie godziny. Ale ona miała przy każdym z4 pryzmatow śruby do regulacji.Jestem amatorem jeśli chodzi o regenerację lornetek ale nie wiem czy dobrym pomysłem jest ją plukac pod wodą raczej zdecydował bym się na alkoholu. Pozdrawiam i gratuluję naprawy .
Cześć! Rosyjska lornetka to czysta technika w najprostszym wydaniu. Pryzmaty wskoczyły na miejsce plus soczewki wszystko skręciłem i zadziałało. Prócz wkrętów wszystko z aluminium i woda nie zaszkodziła. Dobrze suszyłem elementy więc nie miałem obaw że za wilgotnieje w środku. Nie pamiętam ale alkoholem przetarłem chyba te umyte części aby pozbyć się ewentualnych zatłuszczeń oraz kurzu. Fajnie ze udało się Tobie przywrócić do życia swą lornetkę :) Pozdrawiam 👍
@@langowski007 Witam, pozwolę się podpiąć pod komentarz. Gratuluję udanego serwisu, a przy okazji chciałem się o coś podpytać. Otóż dokopałem swoją tento 10x50 z dzieciństwa, a jako, że wróciłem do obserwacji astronomicznych przez teleskop, chciałbym również uzupełnić swój zestaw o lornetkę na statywie. Moja jest akurat w nienagannym stanie. Potrzebowałbym jednak podłączyć ja czymś ze standardowym uchwytem do lornetek. Problem tkwi w tym niestandardowym gwincie w lornetce. Czy masz może jakiś patent na to? Poza tym potrzebowałbym nowe muszle oczne. Widziałem na aliexpress, że tam czymś handlują takim. Czy znasz może jakieś, które pasowałby pod tę lornetkę?
PS: aha i co zrobić w wypadku gdy "mostek" nie trzyma ustawienia szerokości obiektywów, tylko "załamuje się" po rozłożeniu?
@@langowski007 Cześć Krzysztofie. Podpowiedz mi proszę: gdzie mam posmarować lub naoliwić, żeby mostek obrotowy (ten do dopasowania do szerokości oczu) nie sprawiał kłopotu, bo tak coś w środku zaschło, że tylko facet z silnymi rękami potrafi nim obrócić. Jest to 40-letnia Tento 10x50. Boję się rozkręcić, żeby czegoś nie urwać :) Pozdrawiam. Janek
@@janzych5081 Cześć 👋 Sorki ze tak późno odpowiadam. Może zalać jak się uda benzyna Zippo? Jednak jak się udało Tobie rozkręcić to tylko jedyna opcja aby się pozbyć starego smaru! Pozdroo :)
@@janzych5081 Trochę odkopane, ale czy udało Ci się rozruszać mostek? Mam identyczny problem w identycznej lornetce...
Eu desmontei o meu, e coloquei os prismas, pensei que não teria problema colocar nos lugares, quando montei o binóculo não ficou legal a imagem
¿Marcaste los prismas para que queden como antes?
brother I have one that the name. (Kennex Coated lens 8×40 Field 6.5° No 73110) please tell me that one good or not I wait for your answer Thank you for video 🤙
Hi :) Little information on this pair of binoculars on the internet. If it works and has good sharpness, it has good clear lenses, why not :) Use :) Regards 👍
Lens or prism Cleaner name sey me please.
Hi. I bought a cleaning kit at a photo store. It is some brand with no name. It is important that the cleaning agents are dedicated to glasses, whether photographic or at this angle, and to binoculars. (does not damage the coatings of the glasses) (cloths also suitable, my paper ones rubbed off and left micro fibers that I had to blow ...)

6:26 and if it does not unscrew?
stuck
Hi 👋 heat it with a hair dryer or soak in hot water. It must be releasing some dried grease, dust and moisture have accumulated.
@@hellishnickolas3640 ... Or hold it over steam for some time (kettle or pot) and then, when it heats up, try to unscrew it.
@@langowski007 thanks 😊
Please try to provide its realignment and find tuning procedure.... Otherwise dismantling it, cleaning it & rearsembling it is not a very critical job in general. Prismatic binoculars are useless if they do not show clear and integral vision.

Where on earth had they been to get in such bad condition ?
The binoculars hung in the barn in Spartan conditions for many years. When I saw it, I knew I had to have it and fix it. After a few requests, I got the binoculars for free. So, after renovation, it works perfectly. I think it owes it to the quality with which it was produced. The crowd of items makes people stop being sensitive to the ecology of "devices" and instead of taking care of it, after a slight fault, they remove the item and replace it with a new one - of lower quality.
@@langowski007 so true my friend , people these days do not recognise and appreciate quality items.
Ma un set di cacciavite da orologiaio no?
Grazie per la tua preoccupazione 🤗 Prenderò sempre un set di strumenti dall'Italia 🤩 Forse Ferrari 😎 Ma seriamente, ho già comprato due set di cacciaviti 😀

What's name of song 10:10?
Crystal Clear by Mike Oldfield :)
@@langowski007 thank you.
okay the song that starts like 3 and a half mins in is, just like, awesome. It's giving me labyrinth/ jareth the golblin vibes idk why lol
And seen that there is a tool to remove the tubes that hold the eyepieces when they are too hard to do it with their hand, a type key that wraps the eyepiece with a rubber ribbon. What's your name? I need it so I can disarm some carl zeiss from about 100 years ago.
