[Elecraft] A couple of building-enhancement devices.

[DAVE HEALY]

Just got the new Edmund Scientific 2003 Holiday Catalogue and on Page # =
22 are two devices that caught my eye.

The first is a Fused fiber Optic Magnifier....A tapered bundle of fiber =
optic conduits that magnify the subject when placed in direct contact =
(zero distance!) with the subject.  #F30523-62.  US$129.95 (ouch!)

The other: A video loupe.  You place the maganifier over the subject and =
it transmitts a magnified picture (3X to 17.5X )to your television. =
US$599.95. (double-ouch!). Part # F31247-00.

Check them out on the web at www.scientificsonline.com.

Just what these old eyes need to see those cold soldering joints, yes?

Maybe it's better to just buy the US$2.99 magnifier from Wal-Mart and =
put the difference toward another K2?

Just a thought for you guys that have everything and are pressed for a =
Christmas list.

Happy dreaming!  And Happy Holidays!
