There are some others with the same end attachments, but have soft or fully flexible fibers. I've used both in industry, and for my application with typewriters I prefer the semi-rigid,; they are easier to get into position.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558523755501505700.post-11261743557138323142019-06-30T08:41:40.057-04:002019-06-30T08:41:40.057-04:00So I searched for ones for a phone:

I'll do more reading and get one of these. The KZYEE looks like it comes with accessory lenses and costs only $36.99. a 5.5mm diameter is still not small enough for some tight spots, but for office machines would work fine. The extra lenses may just work for most portables.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558523755501505700.post-7808372769256901852019-06-30T08:30:55.995-04:002019-06-30T08:30:55.995-04:00The only affordable one I've found is this one...The only affordable one I've found is this one:<br />https://www.harborfreight.com/digital-inspection-camera-61839.html<br />Problem is the optic that fits it is a too large for typewriter work.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558523755501505700.post-38301018848615779702019-06-30T04:50:29.640-04:002019-06-30T04:50:29.640-04:00Oh no Bill, I could never do the things you do to ...Oh no Bill, I could never do the things you do to fix up these typewriters.

I am working on a typewriter with hidden/inaccessible mechanics (1950s Underwood portable) and perhaps a borescope could shed some light on the problem. I have tumbled down a rabbit hole, looking online at inexpensive borescopes that plug into phones. I could use a borescope for lots of things around the house.Mary Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13633589546071214096noreply@blogger.com
