    I'm looking to purchase a decent borescope capable of looking at the inside of cylinders, gear boxes, pumps etc.
    Thanks for your help

    I think there are quite a few out there now that are pretty decent...not terribly expensive anymore either.
    Mine is an elcheapo (HF? I don't recall) but does the job just fine.

    Teslong has a good range of bore scopes including side looking. stand alone or run through phone or computer. start at apx $60 go up from there. I have had one of their units since they hit market a few years back.. no complaints
