I bought a pair of Gold Ring binoculars in 1988 at the AAFES store in Denver Colorado at the now decommissioned Lowry AFB. (I was US Army at a tech school). The sum was $350….a huge sum of money to an E2. (At the time).
Long story short. 36 years later that pair of binoculars stopped focusing...
I have actually bought several optics on this platform. I don’t know why I have zero transactions. I will research. It very well could be something I missed.
