Close Instrument Repair

Tool repair shop

2316 4th Ave

Seattle, 98121

206-728-2121

Open 9 to 11 a.m., Monday to Saturday (these are the hours Mr. Close told
me when I called this evening to confirm he could look at my binoculars)



?Years ago, I had a pair or roof prism bins with out of whack collimation
repaired by Close Instrument Repair in Belltown. Repair was effective and
inexpensive.?



?He was great. More interested in doing the job right than how much money
he can get out of you.?



?I would definitely recommend Close Scientific Instruments (or Close
Instrument Repair? they may have changed their name). They've been around
for a long time, and really know their stuff. That said, I've had the best
results by sending my optics to the manufacturers for repair. I've done
this with both Zeiss and Swarovski, and been very happy with the outcomes.?
