Brian Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Remember those plastic Fresnel lenses that you used to able to put in front of a TV to make it look bigger? Anyone know where to get one in the UK? I found some small (7" x 10") ones on e-bay but I'm looking for something a bit bigger (A3+). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James C Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Greenweld have a 26" screen - they're at Greenweld I saw the lens in their paper catalogue, but no doubt you'll find it online. It's part number HLL 1103 (though it is a whopping £29.99 ) They also have, for £9.99, a "My first clock kit" consisting of all the cogs etc that might be handy for small-scale Cinderella pantos this year, when you want to manually make the clock strike midnight before the DSM turns you into a pumpkin!

With 3' long hands and a translucent dial it looked pretty good (if I say so myself). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
