Equipment for repairing

I don’t have a microscope either, but hope to find a used one (that accepts a digital camera) this year. For now I use something that looks like this:

  • Donegan Optical OptiVISOR Binocular Magnifier Lensplate #5 Magnifies 2.5
    I got mine free from a friend, but I found this at Joann fabric website (joann -dot- com)
