Anyone using inspection scopes for repair and such. And what are the latest and greatest. They have been coming down in price the last few years. I want one that has its own screen.
I don't have a lap top. What features do you think are helpful , reversing image, brightness control, etc.
Thanks
L.

Reversing image is nice because otherwise you have to learn how to work in reverse, like in a mirror.

Just bought one - $60 from Lidl...., used it for the first time yesterday, customer with a damaged guitar.
Beyond economic repair. and no, I can't just fill it with plastic wood. I don't do "that type" of repair.
Sides, back, braces, linings all split and lots of stuff previously fixed with epoxy...
OK, on topic, brightness control is pretty much essential, I find I have to adjust it all the time.

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.
