The Marco 101 in no way will ever compare to the Vertometer
[QUOTE=ChrisBowers;574733]A valuable tool is the Younger Gauge Master. Great for aligning axis and vertex depth of the reticle. I see them on eBay from time to time. Or take a lens of good power and...
Are you sure that you upgraded, that Reliance is better then most chairs made today!
The best optical lens measuring instrument was the B&L Vertometer.
No longer made, they can be found used, sometimes in good condition.
I repair the instrument as well as supplying repair parts....
Are you sure it is the plug? Slitlamp bulbs operate base up, frequently the solder contact on the base of the bulb oxidizes and stops making electric connection.
Scrape the contact on the base of...
There are many possible fixes.
You found the one that works!
Congratulations

The knob can be installed without otherwise affecting the instrument.
You...
Do you mean the table the instrument mounts on? I do not clearly understand what you mean by the vertical and horizontal post.
If the instrument is mounted on an instrument stand the socket in the...

They are about the best chair ever made. Salesmen hate them, the chairs last too long. Lift cylinder can leak after thirty years, they are rebuildable. Also the linear bearing races can fail, I...
I just saw this post. The tilt lock is problematic. Tightening the cables will not solve the problem. There are three different tilt lock mechanisms.
The first is rarely seen the two common ones...
If you can find an American Optical Tillyer trial lens they are the best that were ever made by anybody anywhere. Topcon and others make corrected trial lenses but they do not compare to what...
Sorry, I just saw this post. Exactly what burned up? There are two components that fail, they can be replaced.
Most ophthalmic dealers would rather replace the entire power supply or better yet...
Contact Tek Net, Lakewood, NJ. They have website. They will still do Greens refractors.
There is a friction adjustment under the instrument. Unplug the Vertometer. There are two small screws that hold a cover on the bottom of the instrument. Try not to loose the little screws, they...
You may have a problem with vertex distance. Frequently blocking pads, felt rings or other items are placed on or around the lens contact to keep contact from damaging the lens. The resulting error...
A strong word of caution. if you are thinking about trying to fix the knob yourself. The setscrews that secure the knobs may look like conventional six sided setscrews, they are not! They are...
Some chairs are easy, the upholstery can be removed and replaced with out difficulty.
Some Reliance chairs need to have the whole top of the chair removed and dismantled.
There are way to get into...
Your old instruments, both AO And B&L are better then any new optical lensmeter made today.
I know, I repair them. I also make the parts for them. AO, Reichert and B&L have not made or supported...
Are red glass lenses available anywhere? Finished, 6 base curve, no sphere or cylinder correction.
This is not for an eyeglass application or for personal use.
I could tint a plastic lens, but I...
The service business relies on these maxims

Knowledge shared is power lost.
Anyone who is willing to help you out wants to know who let you in....
I think any similar looking fixation target from a Marco, Topcon or Haag-Streit instrument should fit.
Most instruments come from the same places in Japan regardless of the name they are sold under.
