It's sad when I see Stereo-1 and Stereo-2 microscope pods for sale on ebay. They usually don't sell first time around because the seller thinks they have resale value. Here's a Stereo-2 that has been for sale for a while, in fact this is at least the 3rd listing and the price keeps dropping.

Now, I can assure you this is an excellent scope pod to use for variety searching. However, I warn you that you will also need a stand and eyepieces to work with this pod. The stand and eyepieces will cost you a lot more than this pod!

Maybe the sticker residue turns folks off? it's easy to clean off. Maybe the "for parts or not working"? But it's just a part of a setup and they say "needs eyepieces". Seems for $19.95 or best offer this one should sell fast.

If it does not sell by tomorrow night, I plan to buy it myself! I don't need another one but I've been thinking about putting together some coin searching setups and a pod like this may figure prominently...Ray

There are a couple of Bausch & Lomb Stereo-1 Microscope setups for sale on ebay right now. The stands look worn so probably need repainting, which is pretty easy to do. The bottom of the stand is removable and can be painted separately. A new reversible stage plate will cost you ~$10-15. Here are the links:

I spent around $700 for a brand new microscope and camera at AmScope. Then I got a new camera and it sits here holding papers down because the camera destroys it, and is immensely easier to use. My kid threw away the box it came in so I won't even ship it now so I'm stuck with it.
