Well Michael, you don't know until you try.

But have a good look from outside first? Any obvious dings and knocks that could have bent things? Also, check the barrels. I have seen a pair once, straight from the manufacturer, with a barrel screwed on cross-threaded producing horrific collimation.

Keep searching the threads on this site until you find enough references to read. I'll try to attach a good one below.

You need to have the binoculars steady - on a tripod, or firmly on a handrail or similar. Then you need to be able to work out whether the mis-collimation of the images is vertical or horizontal or both. Try to remove any vertical mis-collimation and you may find they are much easier to use.
