WTB: Zeiss Universal, Photomicroscope II or III stand

#1 Post by tlansing » Tue Jun 27, 2023 12:22 am

Recently, after about 25 yrs of use in my hands, the fine focus on my Zeiss PM III failed and it can't be repaired. I am in need of a Zeiss Universal, PM2 or PM3 stand in which the coarse and fine focus work smoothly. All I need is the stand.

Thanks,
Tim

It helps to know where you are located for shipping costs. You can just replace the whole focus block.

Hi Charles,

I am located in Cary, NC, near Raleigh. I know that the focus block can be replaced but I am concerned about any alignment issues that may (or may not) be addressed. It also seems that Universal/Phomi stands are more common than focusing blocks.

It's held on with like 6 bolts, there are no alignment issues. I actually have an extra and I'm in Raleigh.

Hi,
also note that the Zeiss Stand WL focus block is the same as used on Phomi and Universal.
I used a Phomi focus block to fit it on one of my Zeiss Standard WL.
It's held on with like 6 bolts, there are no alignment issues.
I can confirm this statement.
