Bushnell Falcon 10 x 50 with carrying case.
There is a problem but is easy fix. The knob for the central focus adjustment is connected to the center barrel by a bushing which looks to be press fit (interference fit) into the stationary barrel. This bushing is solid and looks to be made of pot metal. Extending from the bushing is a tab which is tapped to accept a brass screw. The bushing and tab is one piece. The tab has separated from the main body of the bushing. I think a new tap into the bushing to accommodate a longer screw would fix the problem. Alternatively, a new bushing could be installed. Whatever, I don't feel like doing the work. I have other projects and two other higher quality binoculars.
Other than that, the binos work fine with no other defects or needed repairs.
My loss is your gain.
Buyer pays S&H. Figure 1.6 lbs to ship. Sent from 92831 zip.
