B&L, Leica SZ Parts

I have a few Leica and B&L stereozoom, boom stand microscopes from industry
with good optics.
Because the people who used them didn't own them, they received the standard
manhandling. There is doubt that fasteners were ever loosened when
adjustments of optical pod position were made. Along with that, the rack and
pinion elevating mechanism for some of the pods doesn't look at all crisp.
My plan is to paint and tune these up to send overseas as gifts to support
natural science work. I'd appreciate any pointer to parts diagrams and any
leads on a discount supplies of the abused elements. Kevin will have an
immediate idea of the parts that are implicated as likely suspects. I always
admire that voice of experience. Moons ago, I did a similar maintenance on a
stereozoom which went easily and worked fine.

I appreciate all advice and consideration.

Regards,

Edward Hennessey
