Leitz 1512 microtome

#1 Post by Interference » Tue Jun 07, 2016 4:51 pm

I have custody of one of these while handling/moving it on, for the widow of a plant-botherer.
It needs some therapy - disconcerting noises and feed problems, to be investigated.
I haven't looked into it much yet. Not sure it's complete.

I have the online User Manual, but does anyone know of something more like a service manual?
Dimensions of the proper knife would be useful too.

There was also a Cambridge rocker and an old AO which may be useless, not sure yet. (That has a shearing-slice movement, which seems sensible. That makes me wonder why the others I've seen cut straight across.)
