Hi,
I have recently acquired the better? parts of a Zeutschel CL2 microfiche reader, i.e. the heavy base-section with lenses and slider mechanism.
What's missing is the 'hood' (with the matte screen and prob. two mirrors?) and the lamp-fitting/construction from the base section.
W.r.g. to the lamp compartment at the base backend -- it is empty, and near it are two brown wires that have been cut off. Not much of a fitting, or any indication as to what type of lamp would be in there, and how.
When I turn the base upside down, the only thing I see is the thin rod, which moves as you change lenses. It is threaded at the end, but nothing is attached to it, so it's hanging loose right now. Also there's a sort of rest with a felt pad. I have no idea what the rod used to be for. Maybe a diaphragm, or another tilting mirror to change light intensity as you change lenses?
In any event, I would like to ask if anyone here is familiar with this type of microfiche reader, and could give me some details, drawings, or preferably pictures from the bottom side of the base, to aid me in an attempt at some reconstruction.
Am I right that the hood was basically just two mirrors and the matte screen?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
BJ
