Re: WTB X-drive from Zeiss rotating stage 473456
Not sure if the number you list (473456) is a serial # for the stage or a part number for the drive screw. I have this assembly with the number 4753082 appearing below the Zeiss logo if it helps. I use Leitz and Olympus equipment so have no real need of the Zeiss stage, but don't want to salvage parts from it. The housing for the drive screw is 4 7/8" (120mm) long x 1 1/16"(27mm) at the widest point. The slide carriage moves smoothly in both directions. The table rotates easily as well. Care to make me an offer I can't refuse?

Thanks for the reply Jimur. Although the numbers are different, it looks identical to mine.
Someone in another thread on here seemed to think I could get parts for around $100, which would be great, though I'm not sure where to get those parts from. Anyhow, I think you just want to sell the whole thing, rather than taking parts from it if I understand you correctly?
So maybe add $100 for the Y axis and another $100 for the stage = $300 would work?
Cheers

If you can't find a replacement, it might be worth reaching out to the folks at hobby-machinst.com and other machining forums as I am pretty sure that can be salvaged. Probably someone no too far from you who might be able to assist in repair or fabrication.
Re: WTB X-drive from Zeiss rotating stage 4227544
I think $300 would be overkill Markus. I've seen them listed on ebay for around $200. However as I stated, I really have no use for the assembly. If you feel $300 would be a reasonable offer and willing, you can have it for $100 plus shipping. As dtsh suggested, you might find some one who could repair the broken part for less. If you want to explore that possibility this will remain waiting for you at the $100 price. If it doesn't fit your need, pay the return shipping and send it back undamaged within a reasonable time frame for a refund of your $100. I think my offer is fair considering I don't want to piece mill it out and you don't really need the entire assembly. I can also send additional photos if you like.Stonius wrote: ↑Thu Mar 04, 2021 2:28 amThanks for the reply Jimur. Although the numbers are different, it looks identical to mine.

Expresses my opinion as well!
The good thing about this stage is that the X and Y knobs are totally separate from each other, so the X can be repaired or replaced.

Aw, mate thanks so much, that's really kind of you, like seriously! And yes, I'd love to accept your offer! I just wish I had something you needed in return so I could repay the favor.
I'll PM you to sort out details.
Thanks again
