"A pack inspector is a handy thing to have (spinle with microscope and

Can you post a picture of this critter? Is it something we could 3D print?
Thanks,
Marc

If you can find them anywhere, Texwipe made a plastic wand that looks like

clean heads
Minor head crashes leave a tar-like residue that you need to remove. A
pack inspector
is a handy thing to have (spinle with microscope and illuminator on the
rack and pinion)
to look for surface damage.

I am about to get a large batch of RK05 packs, so I am interested in the
details of this.
First, what is 'burning spirit'? (I assume this is a straight translation
into English of some German term, but not knowing German... :-) After
poking
around with Google for a while (hampered no
little by the fact that it's

name of a band, and also a term in World of
Warcraft :-), it seems like
it
might be acetone?
