    New toy

    I just inherited an old Reichert manual lensometer. It's a dinosaur, but the calibration is spot on and it works fine. The only problem is that the inkwell broke off, but this is an easy fix if I can find a replacement. Any ideas on what I should do with it since I don't need it?

    I am dying to have a manual lensometer in my office. We have two digital ones, and I hate the newest one more than the older model. I'm sure there are other offices out there that would likely snatch it up. I don't think you'll have a problem finding a home for it.

    They're like Packer tickets - you don't sell them, you will them. Hope you won't be needing this fine advice anytime soon.
