Before I do damage to something accidentally...

The bubble levels on a P2 I just got my hands on are working, but out of level. Can I just loosen the screws next to them and move the level around, or is there something else to it?

Thanks!

I guess the center screw forms the swiveling axis and the lateral screw the actual arresting screw.

But this is just guess-work based on looking at a photograph.

AgX, here's what the screws look like on my unit.

On the main standards: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wzvcssamkim77tf/Photo-Mar-09,-2-27-07-PM.jpg?dl=0

If I understand you correctly, the left screw is the arresting screw?

And then on the Multipurpose: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5n8w4zel7txol0w/Photo-Mar-09,-2-27-41-PM.jpg?dl=0

Any thoughts on this one?

The secod model is obviously different.

But on one F-type photo there is a level bulb witzh at its back a plate protruding downwards.
And looking at your model it seems likely to me that the same model of bulb is used there too.
That plate will have a round hole in its center to take the central, pivoting screw, The side of the plate will have a slit through which the lateral srcrew will run.
Behind that a second plate will be with two threads.

Or somethinhg of that kind...
