there was a guy in the Moss Landing area who aligned and repaired
binoculars some years ago... I honestly don't know if he's still in
business, but at one time you could drop them off at Orion Telescope
Center for him. Turnaround was generally a couple of weeks. You might
call Orion and see if he or someone else is still doing this. He fixed
a 1960s vintage pair of Swift 9x70 binoculars for me.
