Hello Tom, So sorry to hear that. I met him several times. He was friends of a few hams that I knew. He was friends with the Henry's where I acquired many tools. I still have the four track recorder with speech compression that he made. It needs new drive belts. It is over 30 years old. I just found out that they do have a web site I think captek.net. They have some interesting tools. I often thought about contacting him and now regret my procrastination. He was a truly wonderful person. Lenny N3FGY.

His wife, Lee, is, I believe, still running Science Products, and they probably still have the probe/tester, but it is quite expensive compared to other basic light probes unless you want the continuity tester, liquid level indicator and other gizmos that come with it. Tom Benham was a really unique and creative character in this or any field I hope his wife gets some of his stories together and publishes them somewhere. He and his company did stuff nobody else could or would do. I'm not a believer in heroes but he came close. best Tom Fowle WA6IVG To listen to the show archives go to link http://acbradio.org/handyman.html or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday The Pod Cast address for the Cooking In The Dark Show is. http://www.gcast.com/u/cookingindark/main.xml Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/handyman/ Visit the new archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
