I'm looking at these items that I have circled as possible additions to my "stamp collecting tools".

They are a 20x, a 40x and a 60x magnifier and a UV lamp (for Machins).

Does anyone have any history with any of them? Like 'em? Hate 'em?



Thanks!



JR

I purchased a dual wave UV light for my dad that looks like that. The short wave came out of the long side bvt the long wave came out the end. The LW was not very usable. It was like little blue LED so the light cone was poor. I am not 100% sure it is the same but if it is I would avoid it.

Hi Angore,

Thanks for the input!

Yeah, might fall under the category of "if it looks too good be true then..."!
