Comments about Porta Trace Porta-Trace 10" x 12" Stainless Steel Lightbox with Two 8 watt, 5000°K. Lamps.:

[...] I would recommend Adorama opening a few of these to inspect inventory. Chips were all around the plexiglass, making the edges quite sharp. I was replacing a similar light box so I replaced the part from the older box and solved the problem myself. This survey form came before I had a chance to notify Adorama of the problem.

Comments about Porta Trace Porta-Trace 10" x 12" Stainless Steel Lightbox with Two 8 watt, 5000°K. Lamps.:

I am very pleased with the quality of this product. It is built well and has great lighting. I use it to trace designs for use in ceramics, and it is perfect. I was able to trace a photo of mine that was printed on heavy weight photo paper (onto everyday printer paper) with no problems at all. I would definitely recommend this product to others.

Comments about Porta Trace Porta-Trace 10" x 12" Stainless Steel Lightbox with Two 8 watt, 5000°K. Lamps.:

It works good, but needs small improvements.
I replaced the 4 screws that hold the white plastic,with stainless steel ones ( they won't corrode and look good with the case. I put small lengths of silicone rubber tubing on the tilt wire, where the wire touches the table to keep it from scatching the table and it won't slide off. I glued a 1/4" thick strip of plexiglass to the bottom of the white plastic to keep the slides from falling off the plastic when the unit is tilted.

Comments about Porta Trace Porta-Trace 10" x 12" Stainless Steel Lightbox with Two 8 watt, 5000°K. Lamps.:

If you're looking for a small, portable and rugged transparency viewer, this is it. Tuck it under your arm, or put it into a computer bag to take it with you. The light is very even, eliminating the need to reposition slides when viewing them. There are two viewing positions (slightly angled and flat). I appreciate the flat position when sorting stacks of slides; the stacks don't topple over.
