[Leica] Can you tell me the allen wrench size for the Focomat V35

[Thinkofcole at aol.com (Thinkofcole@aol.com)]

Vick, I figured someone would have been able to help you by now but,  
although I never owned a V35, from looking at the picture, this is what I  
suggest: 
 
The bolts to separate the stand from the post seem to be underneath...You  
say you need an allen wrench...Since this is a German device, you probably 
need  
an allen wrench in millimeters...Allen wrenches come in both millimeters and 
in  inches, typically in little bunches held together with a nut and bolt, 
so 
that  you can all the common sizes in one bunch...They also are available  
individually...
 
so, between now and Sunday, when you go for it, borrow a set from a friend  
for both metric and so-called SAE [inches]. Just in case it's not allen, 
bring  
along a standard screwdriver...
 
Also, from the picture, there is a rotating screw on the bracket that holds  
the post...Maybe, if you turn the screw you can lift out the post and solve 
your  problem...I'll try to send you a picture separately of the bunch of 
allen  
wrenches you need...I hope this helps...regards, bob

the  column to the baseplate?

I am going to pick up my new enlarger on  Sunday; I want to be able to remove
the column from the base.

Thanks  in  advance
Vick
