[Elecraft] Swing Arm Magnifiers -OT

[William Johnson]

I also did Lasik, and at my age, I went to the drug store and tested the
"reading" glasses that worked best and I found the 2.0 - 2.5 do the job for
soldering.  I am selling off some used tuners to make room for the T1!  Or,
perhaps its time to sell serial #35 and build the next unit, just to build
again.

Skip the fourescent and go for a daylight spectrum bulb in an articulating
arm lamp. I use clip on magnifying lenses that clip to my reading glasses.
For most a lot of the building activity I can look "under" the magnifying
lenses to see through the reading glasses. When I need the magnification
it's right there. No problems reading the numbers on those tiny glass
diodes.
