HI ALL, I just spotted this Microscope on Ebay, it needs Repairs apparently. I don't know anything about them, I just thought it might interest Someone. Here is the Link Toolmakers Microscope OMT | eBay .

Yeah, I was thinking of having a flutter on that. I'll let you know how I go.
So buying that will justify a workshop kitted out like the bloke in the YouTube clip. Remember the white dust coat that Dave J reckoned had just come back from the dry cleaners!:U
I was thinking of having a look into this microscope too...........
What youtube video are we talking about?
It's one where this bloke does a show and tell in his workshop. He has every machine imaginable, all in beautiful condition and plonked in the middle of this covetable collection is a effiing table saw. He says he uses the gear to repair the occasional microscope!
I dont have a link to the clip Matthew. Someone else might.

Thanks Bob and Dave,
I have seen that one, I tend to watch anything that revolves around machining and fabrication..
Plus I just love getting a peek into other peoples workshops, It gives me ideas...Unfortunantly
those ideas tend to run me out of room on a regular basis, I'm on my 3rd shed extention now...
Pfft oh well he who dies with the most toys win's.

I do want one of those nifty lab coats. And a very faint East European accent, almost as though I was trying to hide it. And one of those three bladed knife switches on the wall, a la Frankenstein. Bwahaaa ha ha.
Seriously, I am out of machine lust at the moment...even my ebay watching page sits there empty, nothing here to see.
I'll have a look tonight Gregory, I'm sure I can find something to rekindle your desire.:U
GQ,
How about a nice Waldmann fluoro lamp for the FP1. Singer's price is not a lot more than you'd pay locally for an ersatz fitting. I'd be tempted myself but I'm sure I'd be scared off by the shipping cost.:o

Those lamps have always appealed to me-more than the halogen type, and correct for our type of machines. I bought my wife a sewing machine light last year that's pretty good...linkages are tight, and the fluro light is bright and compact. But it has a plastic cover, and a table clamp base. $75.

The Waldmann lights are very nice...The LED units that I purchased last week are enroute-should be here in a few days. I'll have to rig up some kind of arm-maybe salvage the vintage worklight units that came with my machines.
