Stiff focussing wheel on Zeiss binoculars




By lesinfleet on Apr 10, 2009

" "
I have had these excellent binocs since about 1989. They have not been mistreated or subjected to particularly bad environments.
But the central focussing wheel is now very stiff.
How can I clean/lubricate the mechanism?
Thanks for any help you can give.
