Condition Report
Further to the catalogue description, the rack-and-pinion focus has wear to two teeth which stalls the movement of the stage; the supporting column is loose and has a washer added to keep it tight and facing forwards; the optics for both eye and nose-pieces appear complete, although un-tested; the box has loose dividers where the glue has failed, whilst most of the accessories appear present and mostly have allocated spaces, some do not and might be associated.
