This kinda reminds me of the U.S. Nickel Pioneer Electronics once sold
to Laser Disc servicers. They sold a "disc warpage check tool" which was
a nickle in a bag with instructions to try to slide it underneath the
center of the disc laying on a flat surface. If so, disc was warped out
of spec. Cost of this "tool"? U.S. $35.00 and that was back in the early
1980s! Don't get me started on when Pioneer removed test point markings
on circuit boards because they cost .05 cents each. That didn't last
BTW...
No Olympus content I'm afriad but humorous to some I hope.
