RMweb Gold teaky Posted March 10, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2019 Seems to be working fine for me. Perhaps just a temporary blip? https://www.cheltenhammodelcentre.com/ I've tried several subsections, like 'Secondhand', and they are OK. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the reason for suggesting removing the batteries. I've had some for several years, I never take the battery out and I'm only on the second battery. According to the date on them 02/15(?). Don't know exactly when I bought them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTH As LCD displays are electrostatic, it wouldn't save much current to turn just the display off. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkscratching Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I treated myself to a set of Moore & Wright digi calipers, ( I was putting an old morris gearbox back together at the time!)...these have been great, but the battery doesn't last long even when sitting in a drawer turned off, I always just pop the battery out now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium polybear Posted March 12, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 12, 2019 On 03/03/2019 at 12:25, polybear said: Many thanks for the tip; i'd been looking at these (or similar) some months ago and did wonder if they were any good. Just ordered one (lucky enough to get one for £10.52 - last one, but will have to wait for delivery from China). Did find them for £12-20 from UK: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2019-Headband-Magnifier-Head-Magnifier-Hands-Free-Magnifying-Glass-Optivisor-UK/392239583945?hash=item5b534d12c9:g:qIAAAOSwz2JbXYg6:rk:33:pf:0 HTH Brian Update: I've just received my "knock-off" Optivisor from Ebay; it's fitted with a 2.5x magnifier as standard (there are three additional lenses of different strength included, but initial thoughts are that the 2.5x is a reasonable trade-off between magnification and focal length). Quality seems ok, though the adjustment knob on the rear of the headband was pretty tight to turn initially on my example. Not a great problem, as once it's set to size you'll probably not need to turn it very often. Overall, for a tenner I'd buy again without hesitation. Let's face it, it's a quarter of the price of a genuine one, which I believe only comes with one lens - different strengths cost extra. A lot extra......
