Hi all;
                I'm looking for spare pieces and parts. For our Olympus SZX12 stereoscope, we need a replacement fine focus knob and shaft. Specifically, the small plastic gear attached to the shaft is degraded. Would you know where I can find just this part? It's way out of warranty, and our third-party service reps want $250 to dismantle and diagnose what I've already accomplished for them. Then they want another $250 for installation. I just need the part. Any ideas?
                Thanks.
                Kathy
