I have not heard of these binos before but unfortunately there are not many places that will repair them and even if you could find a repair facility, it would be probably cheaper to simply purchase a new pair.

Pentax, Nikon, Fujinon make some excellent binoculars and are not too terribly expensive.

I Googled for them but the only informaiton I could find was a pair in excellent condition that sold at auction for $23.

It's probably a pretty good bet that the cost of repair would exceed the cost of an equivalent new pair.

While excellent quality binoculars can be somewhat expensive, you can get quite good quality for probably less than what it would cost to have your existing pair repaired.

If you want to post your desired use and budget I'm sure you'd get some good suggestions.
