[Maine-birds] binoc repair

Hi everyone-I am looking for some guidance in binocular repair. I have a 15 year old pair of Swift 8x44 Audubon binoculars that need some rehabbing. I tried doing it thru Swift several years ago and did not get good results; is there anywhere in the state that does repairs or does anyone know of a very good "rehabber"somewhere? These were always my favorites so want to try one more time to get them back in my hands again!...
