      The number above is the number on the main frame.. not on the lenses..
      The lenses all have their own numbers

      Thanks!

      A regular lab type binocular compound 'scope. Olympus was a good, inexpensive 'scope back in the 60s. It employs a mechanical stage, which is the device which allows controlled movement of the slide for viewing. It looks like a five objective head, so it woiuld have had multiple strength objectives plus an oil immersion one.

      Thanks for your post! Does this look like it has all the parts necessary to be good to use? Best

      From the photos, it looks like it would work. If you are not sure, don't try cleaning the optics as they are critical. Maybe you can find clear instructions on line. Let me know how you are doing with this as I can help as a last resort.
