Sharon,
There are little springs located behind the knife holder plate . If one of
these is lost then it can cause the twisting that you describe. This happened
to me years ago when stripping and cleaning one of our Leica 2035 microtome's.
Hope this helps.

I will let others with personal experience with your particular
microtomes offer advice on how to repair them but, first and foremost,
if these problems occurred as a direct result of the service call, I
would be in immediate contact with the company that provided the
service, complain to
Usually the service techs that come in will give a 30 day call-back period that
is included as part of the service call. I would have them come back until it
is working properly.

The microtome jumping forward sounds like something isn't locking correctly
anymore--either the knife stage or the section thickness dial.
When our microtomes do that, I just try jiggling every part separately to
make sure everything is locked.
