Ourkayak,

Welcome to the forum. I am kayaker too.

Do you have a Labophot 1 or 2? Their parts may be different.

You can, of course, search for a "labophot frame", " labophot stand", "labophot arm", " labophot body", "labophot bare", " labophot condenser" at eBay. But it would probably cost at least $60 shipped. Your local university surplus sale may have bare Labophot frame for cheap too. 3D printing one may be cheaper, but you still end up getting plastic replacement.

Maybe ask a machinist to make a metal one for you?

Would you please share that download link with me as well? Thank you.

I live in South Africa and parts dont seem to be that plentiful not that i have tried very hard but going to give it a go , yes a friend of mine said his buddy could machine one for me I am holding thumbs , Kayaking and motorbikes are high on my list of hobbies .

Thanks for your help and advise

I've been looking for the service manual as well. Could I have the link, too

Sikuri,

I'm happy to share the files with you, but am traveling for the next couple of weeks and don't currently have access to them. Could you please PM me after about December 20, with a reminder?

(I'll need to be at my home computer, find the files you want, upload them to my Dropbox account, and send you a download link. To save space in the Dropbox, I'll eventually remove these files after you've downloaded them.)

Best,
