Have you considered getting a Zeiss Standard stand to go with the Zeiss eyepieces and objectives?
It is a modular system that you can upgrade to your hearts content.
Zeiss Standard WL (somewhat fashion challenged) & Wild M8
Olympus E-P2 (Micro Four Thirds Camera)

I have a mint black Leitz Labolux and a very nice Leitz Dialux that I converted to 160mm TL and these two are all I need.

The conversion is easily reversible just by removing a spacer under the trinocular 42mm Dia. mounting ring head and replacing the head with a 43mm Dia. mounting ring head.

I converted it because I had a few 160 objectives and also wanted to be able to get newer optics going forward.

I also think selling the AO with the Zeiss optics is like an upgrade to the old scope.
