Hi all,
I have a vague recollection of seeing advertisements in either M.E. or E.I.M. for a form of magnifying visor for use when handling very small work. As far as I recall it consisted of a head-band from which was suspended a lens. Does this ring any bells with anyone?
The "Optivisor" brand is commonly available in Canada.

No, but here's a selection, the headband magnifier is toward the bottom of the page:

I have an Optivisor which cost the thick end of £50 BUT Chronos do them [ a cheaper but functional version ] for under £20. I bought one of theirs to give me a different lens magnification. The lens are interchangable.

I bought a cheap one at an exhibition. It has a second set of lenses that hinge down inside to give an even closer view. I find it invaluable. Even though the lenses are plastic, they give a clear view.
This looks very similar:

I have the "Peer" one which I think I got from Chronos, £15 or so. They come in three powers: 1.75, 2.5, 2.75 and I got the strongest. With hindsight the weakest may be the most useful because of its longer working distance. They fit over glasses.
Mike,
Try the link below, you will not beat this price anywhere.
