WTB: Leitz Ortholux 1 Focus block (US)

Post by DarkT »

Looking for a Leitz Ortholux 1 focus block. Preferably from a late model Ortholux (the one with the field diaphragm). I'm not sure if there is much variation in the focus block between model 2 and model 3, but mine is a late model (3) and the fine focus is completely stuck.

Before you ask, the focus block is beyond repair at this point. The back screws to remove the coarse focus rails are completely frozen stuck. Given the depth they are in, its almost impossible to extract them safely without damaging something. Various solvents did not help.
