It *might* not be an antique :-) It's certainly a classic. I'm guessing it's still working, or that you are expected to work with it?
Can you get its model number and serial number?
@seachanged I can when I go back to school. You know these?
No, I'm just curious. These old instruments are always well-labelled, as there was an expectation that they would be maintained and repaired when they needed it.
They are frequently abandoned before they wear out, and it's nice to see them still in human hands.
My home microscope is from the 1930s (with an anomalous modern objective on the turret). My old Rollei is from the 1960s. They're professional grade tools that have grown old and can still do their job.
@seachanged This one still works I think. When I get back, I’ll get it down again. But I am NOT leveling it!
