Has anyone had any restoration or repair work done by a company called "Mountain Optics" located in Montana? The company was highly recommended by the "Deutshe Optik" publication as being one of the best restoration companies around.
I have spoken with the owner a couple of times and I mailed my 7X50 tuna can bino's for an estimate to disassemble and clean and repair the prisms and internal optics, and replace the black pebble covering on the left barrel housing which is missing, plus re-glue the seams on the material covering the right barrel housing and the prism housings.
I was verbally quoted a price of $425. My problem is he will not email me a written quote. He said,"I told you the repairs I will do and the cost, thats the way I have always done it". He also wants me to sent him a check for $425 before he will start the work. I understand payment up front (incase I die and he calls my wife for payment and she says keep them), I Just would like to know some background on the company. I am assuming the company is a one man shop that does good work.
