You got those pictures from that borescope??  That is really cool; how about some more details on that tool?

Yeah, it also takes videos but can't figure out how to post through Photobucket.

It's the VGA articulating probe and H16 controller:

Guy I work with has one for fire truck work. Save time checking out pumps, motors and lines. very clear resolution. Some of the units on the market won`t fit in spark plug holes.

If I may ask, what was the price on that unit?

I got lucky and got it used in like new condition for really cheap.  The cheapest I've seen for the probe and console is about $1500.

That's a neat piece. Too bad about the price though  :(

Oh come on, this tool doesn't cost money, it makes money!  Just think of all the FE parts you can buy when moonlighting after-hours colonoscopy exams!   :o

Got one for heat exchangers somewhere cool but kinda overkill. I paid 700 at the Carrier supply but had a retailers account so paid half.
