nrscroller Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Hi All My nice daylight magnifier lamp I have had since about 1999 broke today on my scroll saw. It just came apart where the ball part with that pin is where it attaches to the swing arm.....that suck's. I tried some industrial silicone on it to see if I can fix it. Anyone know where there is a good deal on one now? Also maybe a better one than that one I have, mine is like 1.75 3 diopter. Thanks Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I've had several draftsman type ex large swinging magnifiers.I was not happy with the focal view they give.Very disrupting to my eyes to try and keep focused on the small window area that's magnified by them .I get real good glasses of the internet cheap .The latest being a 6.0 ,a 4.0 and for coins i would like to try the 10.0.I'm very pleased with them compared to the huge magnifiers..I wear 150 power for driving and 225 power for reading.

me5269 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I picked this one up at HF a few years ago. No problems with it. With a discount coupon, its around $30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson's Woodworking Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I picked one up at Menards about 6 months ago for about $30. I think that was a sale price but they weren’t marked down too much. nrscroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrscroller Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 My wife is going to Hudson today so she is going to pick my up a lamp at Menards!!!! Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjR Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Depending on your requirements; Harbor freight, Menards, Northern tool, Acme Electric will have some. The sewing/craft stores like Johann's/Michael's etc. also carry some. These tend to be more expensive and may not stand the vibrations, but, worth looking at. (They both often have coupons for discount also) You can also try Amazon and EBay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
