Strain Gauge Fashion

I received a padded envelope today and the only two expected deliveries were a strain gauge cartridge and a pair of tubes.  (I was scared)

My panic quickly subsided and turned to confusion when I opened it to find a rigid eyeglass case.

 

Opening the case put me at ease because inside was one of the original Panasonic EPC-450's

This is a different animal altogether than the EPC-450C II's and the EPC-451's and it is always nice to have a spare for the "ark"
