[Histonet] Leitz 1400 sliding microtome

[Ami Okada]

Hi

THere is a chance that I might be able to get a used Leitz 1400  
sliding microtome in apparent good condition for a reasonable price  
($1000), with a cooling stage.  I was wondering if anyone has had any  
experience with it, and know whether this is a good price or not. I am  
also curios as to what type of blade it takes.
Thank you so much in advance for your advice
