I bought one awhile back and they are awsome. You can be standing upright and as long as you can see the pad you can read it.

Bob,
The cataloging of the differing variations of original "real deal" vertical machining marking's are what is needed as the use of the scope is still limited to the knowlege and eyesight of the user.
Glad I can still tell an original "broach mark" with out the need of a magnifier.
If you are standardizing the observations for a team -(say Judging) this item would be the ticket if all the judges had the same prerequsite knowlege base otherwise what looks "original" to one guy is another guy's "fake".
Phil
Well I could sure use one.
My old method isn't workin to good and for $100.00 PPD,it'll pay for itself. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

I do use an optical aid for the light marks, it is a simple folding linen tester, which is a glorified folding magnifying glass with marked graduations in inches and centimeters that I use to precicely measure the marks.
Cost me $2.50.
Hey it is your money, if the $100 dollar scope is what you want have at it... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Phil...It is alot more polite and less intrusive when you don't have to climb under somebodys hood, and maybe ask him to remove the alternator to get a good look at the pad. With this 100.00 tool you can be 3' away and get a nice view. Good luck with your precise measurements if it is buried under a alternator.

You make it sound like it has x ray vision...if the alternator is there how is it gonna see thru it from 3 feet away ? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif

Look down behind the alternator. You might have to grab the heater hoses but it is easy. They really do work great.

I did use Charleys at Barrett Jackson...he's right...you can literally be 3 feet away and get a clear view...
The only problem was...I didn't have a clue as to what I was looking at!! Thanks for trying to help...Charley! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Charlie,
Please do not get me wrong, again for recreational "broach watching" or a quick team agreement for judging - the scope is great and does not require any removal of equipment.
When I represent a client and my name is going on the line in a written apprisal of a vehicle, say for a for pre purchase inspection - I am not too worried about being polite... The judge and opposing counsel will not be for sure if I get involved in litigation later and I turn out to be wrong....
So I politely ask for a hands on inspection-using this. Works just fine, and the result can be photographed through the magnifier the for precise comparison. Good sellers have nothing to hide. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Everyone has their own system.
The scope makes it easier to look at the pads in an un-obtrusive way.
When you are looking at one car for 1 customer, you don't need to be polite.
Heck, I remove the alternator completely. As well as a valve cover, air cleaner, and trim rings. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
How many people are going to let you do that on a show field?
The scope is great at the auctions, because you can walk around, and look closely at the pads without disassembeling the cars.
At Bloomington Gold this year,
the restamps outnumbered the authentic pads 7 out of every 10 cars.
Maybe even more, because I didn't look at junk.
As an apprasier, you should absolutly have one of these scopes.
Give it a try, if you are not completely delighted and amazed, send it back for a full refund.
I suspect you have never tried one before??
The engine pad is right there. How about the numbers on the fuel pump,
will your little magnifier work for that?
They work GREAT.
I love mine, but not only am I the ..........I am also a member. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
One thing however that is completely true:
IT IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE PERSON USING IT.
The art of deception climbs to a new level each day.
If you are inexperienced, or unsure - You must absolutely consult an expert.

Yes! With two simple bends it will compact and fold up to go anywhere the tips of my two fingers can go. It is really handy for getting into position to see the stamped VIN # up by the oil filter area, and I have also attached it to a small extention mirror to look at reverse areas to get a close look at the casting dates typically located at the rear of the block where acceess is more difficult due to the firewall overhang.
7 out of 10 restamps at an NCRS meet... That is a very sad statistic indeed. Hey are you stilll running into the desperates that are fabricating casting dates on blocks from raised epoxy??

They are trying it all. If you can imagine a way to falsify numbers they are doing it.
It really has gotten even better than that.
I've heard of remanufactured cast numbers that are pretty close. (Have't seen an example yet)
It is really getting pretty sad. The fake POP's are so good now, you find yourself examining the glue. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Frank is right. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif
Sometimes you don't need a scope.
When the pad is a perfect untouched example,
you can really tell from 6 feet away.
It's when it is covered by dirt, paint, rust, or has been damaged you really want one.
You really need it mostly when there has been manipulatation of the surface.
You need to look past the anomaly to see the broach marks, or the fraud.
Helps to "read the metal" http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif
Or you can use it to read your neighbors newspaper. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif
