Well I had a pretty hectic week, so I figured I look at working on my old set of FTPs since at the time they are just sitting on my desk. Well here is the results when your left finger slips and encounters the forward glass lens. I fished out peices of glass for the next 10 minutes with a set of tweezers, before bathing it in some betadine and finished with the last two small glass pieces. All in all a fun time.

ouch

You know if you had a FTP with a bad housing and good glass they can be swaped out. I did this a long time ago and it is still going strong. Of course this is before I was told about the gualt connection. $120.00 to $145.00 each I believe. Sorry to see that happened but you know "it happens". Later. Carter

Yea, I ordered a new set and have them installed. This was my old, slightly yellowed with a dull housing for the FTP high strip. Now well....
