Creative problem solvers...please help with Parts "A" and "B"

[XpipedreamR]

I am trying to figure out a slick way to interface Parts "A" and "B." Thanks for the help

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For size reference, I've included Parts A and B next to the new SLQ I got today

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Due to my crappy photographic skills, you can't really see any of the light but cool multicolored surfaces on the coin.

 

It's just for size reference anyway

I'd change the upholstery on the couch and generally use a 5x Bausch and Lomb. Nice coin, by the way.

Aint you got any duct tape?

[zrlevin]

You could attatch something like this to your magnifier so you can clip it on:

 

 

Or you could just glue the clip on?

I would say I don't need part "A" attached to part "B" to "C" it's a nice coin

If that pivot spot in the loupe is big enough and hollow you might try using the same things they use on dog-tags. I don't know what they are called but they look like a line of BBs linked into a chain. Then again, maybe a strong fishing line might do the trick.

I don't think you need the lanyard.

You do need the lanyard, because good loupes have an especially powerful gravitational force that causes them to be left at dealers' tables. This same strange force causes temporary memory loss that doesn't lift until at least an hour after arriving home from the coin show.

 

I suspend that same type of loupe with a heavy paper clip. A pair of pliers can be used to twist the paper clip into a triangular shape, with the two ends overlapping one another at the bottom of the triangle. By then prying these apart, they can be inserted into the hollow hinge of the loupe. Releasing pressure will cause them to once again overlap, holding the loupe securely. Attaching the paper clip to the lanyard is easy, and several ways will suggest themselves.

 

The newer models of that loupe no longer have a hollow hinge, and I don't know of any way to suspend those.

Wow! You've really thought this out! Is your next book going to be about paper clips?

You can get a lanyard that has a small hole through it and suspend it much the same way with a paper clip. You can also get something with a slip on one end, and a button snap thing on the other ant attach one end to the loupe and the other to the lanyard. That's what I have on mine, since my lanyard didn't come with a clip.

Here's what I did:

 

 

Just attach a D ring to the hinge. You'll have to cut the straight part of the D ring with some stout wire cutters to size it right, but then just clip it into place and attach a lanyard.

Whoa - good job Hoot.

Why aren't these things made like this?

I've never gone to a show

Does anyone but me find loupes hard to look through?

I use a digital microscope at home and a regular old magnifying glass at the coin shop.

Depending on the loupe, some can be hard to look through. I thought about buying a 25X loupe once, but it felt like my eye was being sucked into whatever I was looking at. Now I have a 10X loupe that I've gotten rather used to.

 

I have the Belomo Triplet 10X loupe, and it works very well. Manufactured in Belarus. Visit this website for more information. IT's even got its own lanyard that I might have to buy.
