Hello All



I'm new to the group and histo. (3 years) so far I'm getting a lot of
useful
tips from all the messages.  Thank you.



I have two microtomes that were working almost perfectly before I had a
technician service them.  Now, the Leica 2035 Jung biocuts' blade holder is
twisting to the side (going up at one end).  I have tried tightening,
slacking, and cleaning the entire assembly to no avail.  Does anyone know
of
where I might be able to source one or even how to fix the one I have.



Secondly, the Leitz 1512 rotary microtome, is now jumping forward and
giving
a loud clanking noise.  It takes huge chunks out of the tissue.



Any and all help is appreciated,



Thank you

Sharon
