[Elecraft] Head-mounted magnifiers

[Tom Hammond NØSS]

WOW!

I just visited the AADE (Almost All Digital Electronics) web site

http://www.aade.com/#magnifier

and they are offering a GREAT price, $11.50 + shpg, for a 
multi-magnification head-mounted magnifier which should just the ticket for 
Elecraft builders.

The only possible drawback might be the somewhat narrow headband. 
Otherwise, the levels of magnification should be great. Note that, with the 
highest level of magnification, the focal point will seem to nearly have 
your nose ON your wirk, but there are times when this is not a bad thing, 
esp. when you're searching for that elusive solder short.

Though I don't personally advocate the use of LIGHTED (head-mounted) 
magnifiers,which are battery-powered, I know that some folks swear by them. 
This product also offers individually switched lights which are integral to 
the magnifier assembly. However, they do not have to be used in order to 
use the magnifier. Although there are available should you decide to use them.

For comparison, most head-mounted magnifiers with these features usually 
sell for 2X this price.

Just thought I'd pass this info on.
