Sometimes it is nearly impossible to read the tiny
markings on electronic components. The lens assembly on
those old discarded 8mm movie projectors make very good
quality, high magnification magnifiers. You look thru
them backwards, ie the outer lens goes next to your
eye and you get a huge image when the other end is held
about one centimeter from the component markings.
