Everyone has their own system.
The scope makes it easier to look at the pads in an un-obtrusive way.
When you are looking at one car for 1 customer, you don't need to be polite.
Heck, I remove the alternator completely. As well as a valve cover, air cleaner, and trim rings.
How many people are going to let you do that on a show field?
The scope is great at the auctions, because you can walk around, and look closely at the pads without disassembeling the cars.
At Bloomington Gold this year,
the restamps outnumbered the authentic pads 7 out of every 10 cars.
Maybe even more, because I didn't look at junk.
As an apprasier, you should absolutly have one of these scopes.
Give it a try, if you are not completely delighted and amazed, send it back for a full refund.
I suspect you have never tried one before??
The engine pad is right there. How about the numbers on the fuel pump,
will your little magnifier work for that?
They work GREAT.
I love mine, but not only am I the ..........I am also a member.
One thing however that is completely true:
IT IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE PERSON USING IT.
The art of deception climbs to a new level each day.
If you are inexperienced, or unsure - You must absolutely consult an expert.
