I bought one awhile back and they are awsome. You can be standing upright and as long as you can see the pad you can read it.

Bob,
The cataloging of the differing variations of original "real deal" vertical machining marking's are what is needed as the use of the scope is still limited to the knowlege and eyesight of the user. Glad I can still tell an original "broach mark" with out the need of a magnifier. If you are standardizing the observations for a team -(say Judging) this item would be the ticket if all the judges had the same prerequsite knowlege base otherwise what looks "original" to one guy is another guy's "fake".

I do use an optical aid for the light marks, it is a simple folding linen tester, which is a glorified folding magnifying glass with marked graduations in inches and centimeters that I use to precicely measure the marks.
Cost me $2.50. Hey it is your money, if the $100 dollar scope is what you want have at it... ![]() Phil |

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. ![]() |

With two simple bends it will compact and fold up to go anywhere the tips of my two fingers can go. It is really handy for getting into position to see the stamped VIN # up by the oil filter area, and I have also attached it to a small extention mirror to look at reverse areas to get a close look at the casting dates typically located at the rear of the block where acceess is more difficult due to the firewall overhang. 7 out of 10 restamps at an NCRS meet... That is a very sad statistic indeed. Hey are you stilll running into the desperates that are fabricating casting dates on blocks from raised epoxy?? Phil ![]() |

If you can imagine a way to falsify numbers they are doing it. It really has gotten even better than that. I've heard of remanufactured cast numbers that are pretty close. (Have't seen an example yet) It is really getting pretty sad. The fake POP's are so good now, you find yourself examining the glue. ![]() Soon the only way to tell will be carbon dating ![]() |
