In 1990 I paid 600 guilders in Hilversum Netherlands for a nice (NY-made)
frame with spring-loaded arms to go over the ears. I specifically wanted the
curly springy ends, and they were devilish hard to find. Probably still are.
I wouldn't pay that now, and at the time I thought it was a lot, but there and
then they thought it was quite reasonable.
I still have the frame and use it but it is somewhat the worse for wear as I
used to wear it during Judo practice (all the better to see with <g>).
