Well I collimated my oldest (circa 2000) 7x50s tonight, and that broken pair of Dick Smiths I've done a very shoddy repair job on. Basically the left front tube is held on with one screw and contact adhesive. Whether or not they collimate will depend on how that contact adhesive sets.
I also did some more testing. The "20x50" Bushnell Powerview definitely magnify less than either of my 10x50s. Which is fine by me. I just aquired new Tasco Essential 10x50s on Ebay for $44. But I think I can stop buying 10x50s now ;-) ....unless I decide to replace the Dick Smith ones. My wife reckons I can just stop buying binocs period ;-)
