I believe that there are several individuals who repair old optics, to include binos. I don't know if the fix is a do-it-yourself kida job, but I do believe a repair can be made.

 

Google "binocular repair service" for several pages of options. I'd think that a couple of phone calls would hook you up with someone who could make the repair.

 

Good luck,

Just goofing off and found these guys. This is no endorsement, but they at least say all the right things about their repair services.

Please post your project and how it goes for the rest of us. An interesting problem.

I ended up just selling the binoculars as is. From time to time I find a pair that have the leatherette damaged, but they are never really worth that much to have them professionally repaired.
