Great lead Charles, thank you. I will attempt to contact that fellow and also Leica Germany. That was also a very interesting forum.

Thank you Ken for the welcome and help. I contacted Optotek on Friday and spoke to Klaus who was very informative but did not have a manual. He worked for leika a while back and still sells the used Ergolux as well as services them. Per your recommendaton I will post a photo of the scope.

I am anxious to get started and looking for an instruction manual for the Leitz Ergolux, or even a manual for the vertical illuminator on this scope. Anyone know where I can obtain one of the manuals? Thanks.
