I am just starting to assemble a KRC2.  In doing the parts inventory, I found my 70 year-old eyes really struggling to identify components.  Magnifying glasses, of which I have several, just weren't cutting it.  

It hit me that perhaps my iPhone and/or iPad might have an app available to do the job for me.  I am sure there are others, but I bought "Magnifying Glass with Light Pro" for about $2.00.  It really worked.  You can really read the markings on small components.

In any event, I thought I would pass this along.
