    used microscope?

    Also, does it have an objective lens? I can't tell from the photos. If not, you'll need a 0.5x objective lens for it, so figure that into the cost to get it up and running for engraving. And be sure the eyepieces are 10x. Here's something I wrote on microscopes awhile back: CHINESE MADE...

    used microscope?

    If it’s a Meiji it’s probably a fair price if it’s in perfect working order. If it’s a Chinese knockoff I personally wouldn’t touch it without testing it first. And even then I probably wouldn’t touch it. Read the post about buying microscopes in the tips archive.

    used microscope?

    It appears to be a Meiji EMZ 5TR or Chinese knockoff of one. The chrome lever closes off one eyepiece to allow the camera port to open. If you’re not using a camera it shouldn’t affect you. I personally wouldn’t pay much for it. A binocular Meiji EMZ-5 is a better choice IMO.

    GRS Satellite Turntable Package

    I put some 3M super strong double sided tape under two of the feet on mine so it doesn't shift if I bump it with my chair leg. Still loving it, and I will probably sell my two drill press stand bases soon.

    One home built Walker Prop

    Thanks for trying, but if the photo actually showed the engraving you would probably get some feedback and comments. Kind of hard to see the detail.
