[Elecraft] head mounted lens or magnifier for SMT projects

[w2bvh]

I've been using the cheap head magnifiers (typically $5-7) for years and 
am pretty happy with them. If you go to mcmelectronics.com and  type in 
magnifier in the search box, you'll find a range of quality and prices.

The one I use is the $6.99 one. I remove the 2 lights and battery 
holders to make the headset lighter and use a bench mounted lamp for 
illumination.

The ulitimate is a Bauch & Lomb or Sciencscope 7x-35x binocular  zoom 
microscope. I use these at work and they're very good. But they run $125 
- $350 used on that auction site.

73 & GL,
