[Elecraft] Swing Arm Magnifiers -OT

[Ken Lotts]

Ebay has a couple of stores for us blinding folks..  Gotta love perfection!

"Precision*World" and "The Microscope Store"

Something on the order of Ebay Item number 7511214006 would be VERY useful..

After having looked through a set, I am excited how good it can get.
SMT kits are showing up and I have already built a few (from AMQRP).

In the mean time here in the real world, I use an Optivisor with #10 lens
(3.5X) and a halogen lamp for every single solder joint.   I have a pair of
Optivisors with #4 lens as well but I use the #10 set 99% of the time.
Vision is priceless..   If my soldering iron is hot, the Optivisors are on
my head ready to be used.  Here in AZ I have to be careful if I walk
outdoors with them flipped up (HI).  Twice now they caught the sun while
sitting on the kitchen table and I have the burn marks to prove it!
