The Reflect-O-Scope
Television convergence Viewer
Should be issued to all citizens by the Govt.

And to think, I've been using a mirror...

Seriously, how do you use that thing?

I don't know, never tried it. It's kind of a reverse periscope.

Suction cup holds it to top of TV, can move over screen surface

Awesome. I'm making one! Reminds me of the periscopes we made in Cub Scouts.

Um, OK, that'll work for getting the center converged but what about the rest of the screen!

It appears to be made of the highest quality cardboard and black tape!

Made in Minnesota using the finest Swedish cardboard tubing

Hey, it can do sides as well as center. Top and bottom . . . not so much. There's a reason why we don't see these in the dollar boxes at swap meets.

Too bad my kids are in grad school rather than grade school. It still would be fun to recreate my Cub Scout project.

we had one of those in the shop.never used it except once.who s idea was this one?just center was about all it was good for.

It may be useless but I love stuff that has "-O-" in the middle of the word. Reflect-O-Scope. It's so modern.

What will they think of next? I think I remember a screaming pitch man selling these on TV. $19.95 sticks in my mind as does getting a second one for free just by paying separate shipping and handling.... I hate to admit it but I, too, have been using a low tech mirror instead of this space age device. How did I get so far?

I would like a low power microscope mounted to a video cam so you can examine the dot landings when doing a purity setup.
