I would try Tech One Biomedical. They have a great staff and they have done all of our repairs for a long time. 1-866-497-3033 www.techoneweb.com

Wayne Johnson Sent: Friday, September 21, 2012 11:33 AM To: Histonet Subject: [Histonet] microtome We work in a previously underutilized histology lab. There was a sliding horizontal Sakura microtome, a functioning Thermo microtome, and a nonfunctioning Leica 5xxx (not a very fancy Leica). The center where we work has no interest in fixing the Leica microtome. I am supposing that it is merely dirty. Beijing is very dusty and the windows to the room leaked badly until we installed window seals. I would like to try to take the Leica microtome apart and try to clean it but I cant find the way to get it open. There is no hatch to open like on an old AO Spencer. We are told that it would cost way to much to have Leica service it. Does anyone have any experience with maintenance or repair of a low-end Leica Microtome and have any tips to share on how to open and clean it?
