[Elecraft] head mounted lens or magnifier for SMT projects

[david Moes]

I went a simpler way  I purchased decent over the counter reading 
glasses in a few ranges   1.5, 2.25 and 3     My eyes are still pretty 
good on their own but with the stronger glasses I can see those pesky 
smd's just fine for inspection and soldering,  even reading the values 
if they have them printed .    I like these better then the optivisors 
because they are lighter,  more comfortable and have a much wider field 
of view.     These are available at most drug stores and department 
stores.   I have a pair of optivisors  but never seem to use them anymore.

BTW   I find that even working on the old stuff I use the milder 
lenses   currently restoring a TX1 Apache  and a KW2000b   just makes it 
a little easier to see.
