Help with Olympus KHC repair

[Cbullock]

Have you, or do you know anyone who has, dismantled an Olympus KHC, or has a service manual?
The grease on ours has hardened and the fine focus isn't working properly. I've got the focus unit off the coarse focus rack, but the inside of the fine focus has a lot of pieces so I don't want to take anything off before I'm sure I can get them back. I can see how it works but there might be hidden springs or a dismantle order to follow.
Any advice based on experience with this scope would be appreciated.
Thanks
Colin

Hi

Have a look at this :-http://www.alanwood.net.

Look at Microscope Catalogues,instruction manuals and scroll down to Olympus KHC - Olympus KH Microscopes exploded parts diagrams
You might find what you're looking for there

Good luck

Tony's suggestion is excellent. But if that does not help sufficiently, you may want to post your question on
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mic ... ction/info
gw2brown on that forum (he may be the moderator) is quite knowledgeable in that area and he is helpful. Good luck.

thanks for the suggestions
Have tried Alan and the KHC is a very crude exploded diagram which shows none of the detail of the fine focus mechanism.
I will try Yahoo

thanks, I've only just caught up with this. Had a little problem with the Yahoo groups and obviously ended up on the wwrong one.
Although I've solved my problem by trial & error, I'll still look at the forum you suggest.
Many thanks

Glad that you solved your KHC problem. They are very well-built microscopes, I think.
