Ha, good job guys. Great minds think alike.
Unfortunately enough the 10x didn't hold its value very well. Some of the used ones I have run across, the grey rubbery part turned a funky brown color. There were also no real upgrades I was aware of for it. However in its time, I guess you could say it was rather ground breaking. I can remember the first time I held one, I though WOW. I remember thinking, how can this plastic handle so much heat.
Plus it ran on a specialized SF Nicad battery.
