It is the neatest solution I have ever seen. Thought it may be of interest.

Very nice. I remember seeing a big set of binoculars made from 2 scopes in a magazine back in the '80s, but this is a much more elegant solution! I want tone too, Ving!

I don't know about buying one, but I'd have a go at making one!

Looks like it was designed by Dame Edna. Nice composite work; a real work of art. It's definitely worth a look at the site, he's very serious about his EP's as well.
