Well built
The gold leaf took some work to get it detached from the post and it doesn't lie flat against it. Otherwise, a solid and easy to read scope.

Worth the Money
It is worth buying rather than hanging aluminized Mylar on a screwdriver because being in a box, there's no charge leakage.

Electroscope Nice
This electroscope is much better than expected for the price.
