Champion Shooting Glasses Repair Question

Post by dulcmr-man »

I recently acquired a pair of "Olympic Champion" shooting glasses at a garage sale. The are in good shape EXCEPT that the nose piece, where it attaches to the cross member that supports all of the other components, is "floppy", unlike my other pair. The nose piece rotates very easily around the frame and it is therefore difficult to get the nose piece to stay on the bridge of the nose. Has anyone else run into a similar problem? Does anyone know if there is a place that performs repair services on Champion glasses?



Any help will be much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Dennis in the PRK

You unscrew completely the red knob on the nose piece, until you can remove the bridge.
Then, with a very narrow flat blade screw driver you tighten the tiny screw that is on the inside.
Be patient because if you don't have a screwdriver with a small diameter shaft it is a very tricky job to do.
Drop a bit of penetrating oil and let it set if the screw is tight. Some have locktite...

If you can't tighten it, take it to a optometrist, as they usually have better tools for this type of job.

Good luck!
Hope this helps
