Need Focus Drive for Wild Heerbrugg M8 Stereo Microscope

#1 Post by Atariwarrior » Fri Dec 01, 2017 1:05 pm

I have a Wild Heerbrugg M8 stereo microscope with a stripped rack and pinion gear in the focus drive. I can no longer raise and lower the microscope. It just slips down. I have been unable to find a focus drive for it or replacement rack and pinion gear.

Does anyone have a spare focus drive for an M8 that they are willing to sell or a used replacement rack and pinion gear for this focus drive.

If I can't find that needed parts, I've been looking at other aftermarket focus drives but they will only fit microscopes with bodies 76 mm in diameter. The M8 has a diameter of about 65/66 mm.
Does anyone know where I can get a focus drive that will fit or an adapter that will enable me to use a 76 mm focus drive?
