Looks like the lenses are in good shape? Eyecups are cheap and they may replace them for free if you call them. They just unscrew and you can do it yourself. They've been great for me to deal with. Standard was $75 a lens to replace scratched or cracked. Not sure what it is now. Those would be excellent low light glasses. I know birdwatchers really like them.
I would pay to get them repaired. Great glass in my opinion.

It wouldn't cost much to have it repaired. I may want to keep it after restoring it.

Send them in. I don't know what's wrong with them but they are worth way more then what it would cost to repair. I have a 10x42 SLC I've had for 34 years. Have never failed me. Had a scratch on objective lens from a saddle horn for years. Affected nothing. I sent in for a tune up and cleaning about 4 years ago. They called me and asked if I wanted both objective lens replaced for $75. I said heck ya ! They looked like brand new when I got them back. I thought I was crazy for paying $745 for a pair of binos in 1990.
Swarovski service is awesome. I wouldn't be surprised if they replaced the eye cups and put new rubber on the body for free.

If you decide to toss my address is, no really send them back and they will be as good as new when returned. Swarovski will contact you for anything not covered under warranty.
