I microscope is awesome but not necessary unless you would be using it daily. It might actually be a bit of a cumbrance. I have a decent quality swing-arm magnifier lamp that serves me well. That doesn't work for you? On Fri, May 24, 2019 at 9:27 AM corey cohen via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
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?
Thanks, Corey
