Huntron of Lynnwood, Washing-
ton has developed an ultra-thin,
telescoping test probe called the
Micro-Probe . The Micro-Probe fea-
tures an extension electrode mea-
suring .048 inches in diameter for
access into hard to reach test areas.
The two and three quarter inch
extendable electrode is made of
tempered stainless steel and is
insulated to the sharpened tip by an
epoxy powder coating with an
insulation factor of I , 000 volts +. A
proprietary locking method fixes the
extension positively at the desired
working length and does not com -
promise the protective insulation .
The probe barrel housing the
micro-extension is a quarter inch in
diameter and 'offers a clear field of
view to the testing area . Molded of
fire retardant Valox, the barrel is
thereby insulated and also offers
finger-tip gripping . Overall length for
the body and probe is 5 .25 inches
retracted and eight inches fully
extended .
Additionally, every part of the
probe can be replaced to allow repair
rather than replacement of an entire
probe or set. Parts are available from
Huntron .

Mike Kubin of Stern has finished
work on his latest piece , a graphics
extravaganza entitled Magic . The
sorcery and mystique of the world of
Magic is aptly portrayed on a vivid
backglass and playfield , busy with the
stuff that conjures up hauting images
of myth and mystery .
Magic offers a programmable/ re-
set able drop target bank of three
targets , two spinning targets , and
additional targets and lanes for
spelling out M-A-G -\-C . The drop
targets include a bonus multiplier, the
spinning targets offer a cumulative
scoring feature , and spelling M-A-G-
I-C leads to specials .
Additionally , Magic has a kick-out
hole that renders bonuses . The
mirrored backglass of Magic which
accentuates the graphic accomplish-
ments of the game should result in
player attraction to the piece .

Formula RD 10 has been intro-
duced by the Rockland Corporation
of Tulsa , Oklahoma as a multi -pur-
pose cleaning detergent with superior
diluting potential. Efficient use of RD
10 can decrease cleaning fluid costs
because it is specifically designed to
maintain strength when diluted to
extreme proportions . As an exam-
ple , Rockland offers that RD 10 can
be diluted so that a quart of effective
window cleaner can be made for
approximately one cent.
