I don't know the differences between all the Optiphot models but this is the one I have (images below). Plus I have a bunch of accessories and other configurations for this scope. Anyway, does anyone know 'factually' what other Nikon models, if any, are compatible or interchangeable with my Nikon Optiphot Biological's condenser carrier holder dovetail. I'm just trying to figure if any other model 'focus blocks' will accept my Interferometer tilt stage or even the condensers I'm currently using with my Optiphot Biological? If so I want to purchase another stand and cut it down so I can use my accessories on the cut down version. I realize there are Optiphots on eBay but I don't want a complete one, just the stand or focus block and was wondering if anything else will work to broaden my search.
Also, has anyone repaired the fine focus on a Optiphot specifically. If I find one I simply wanted to know if it's repairable.

Re: Nikon Biological Optiphot
It is possible IF the issue is merely a broken Nylon gear. https://www.ebay.com/itm/173160185324 This part is different from the gear in the Optiphot 2 (see same supplier).Smokedaddy wrote:Also, has anyone repaired the fine focus on a Optiphot specifically.
