So trying to decide on getting a binocular microscope or Binocular Loupe glasses for soldering and such on vintage computers. I don?t really do any SMD work, so $500+ for a good microscope vs $100 for a decent Binocular loop is a decision I need to make soon. Cheater glasses 2.5x used in conjunction with a large magnifier on an articulating arm just aren?t cutting it right now.
What are your experiences with one vs another, if I don?t do surface mount work?
I use a Donegan OptiVISOR for soldering work. Model DA-4, 2X at 10". https://doneganoptical.com/product/optivisor/ Mike Loewen mloewen@cpumagic.scol.pa.us Old Technology http://q7.neurotica.com/Oldtech/
