The handwritten notes on your instruction manual indicate a few missing items:
• Missing 1 glass plate: The machine holds a glass sharpening tray. It only has one instead of a full multi-stage set, the buyer will need to source replacements.
• Missing wooden knife holder: Traditional microtome knives come in protective wooden cases or use wooden handle assemblies for manual handling during the setup process.
