A Light Magnifier and System 4 Accessories Clamp

The Bristly Thistle has a light/magnifier highlighted on their blog today. It is shown used with a System 4 floor stand.

I happened to have owned this very light magnifier and used it happily for over a dozen years until the halogen bulb burned out.  Switching bulbs is not easy in this model (the bulb base has wires, so you have to pull out the old one and insert the wires of the new into the socket) and mine never worked right after I replaced the original bulb. Of course it took the original bulb over ten years to burn out!  The replacement bulb finally shorted out and I've been doing without a light/magnifier ever since, although I have my eyes on a Dazor table model to use as a replacement.  Still, I used it for a very long time and liked it as much as the person reviewing it.  I used mine first with a Gazelle floor stand (made by Elan) and then with a K's metal floor frame.  The base of the light/magnifier is a round pole that is inserted into one of the round holes in the System 4 light and magnifier holder clamp.

Both my Gazelle and my K's metal stand also have holes the right size to accept this pole, so you can use this style light/magnifier with any stand or base with a matching hole.
