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, Lenny W2BVH On 4/17/2012 8:54 PM, Robert Duckworth wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm looking for recommendations for one of those binocular, head mounted, > magnifiers to improve my SMT work.
