It is a similar model to my 780, but mine can hold two microfiche I suggest you remove the plastic screen it simply slides up then lifts out from the bottom

then remove the magnifying lens assembly (it just lifts straight out, note there is a locating groove central front).

This stops the base of the lens catching as you move the carrier from left to right without the top glass in place.

Image 4 shows top glass being inserted into slider frame.

Image 5 shows the top glass tilted ready to lift out, to replace slide the carrier to one side, insert the channel of the alloy plate into the two slots shown in image 6

Image 6 shows the bottom glass inserted onto the carrier it is held in place by a plastic frame attached to the slider housing by 2 small screws either side of the underneath of the frame, to gain access to these screws remove the black channels the front of the slider frame sits in.

Thank you :)

I have printed off the Manuels,they are almost the same but not quite.
Hopefully I can work it out!!

I was not able to contact the seller,there appears to be a 60 day limit and I was just over it!
