Want to get one for my dad.
Looked on ebay but can't find what he wants...
Has to have magnifying glass and lamp, no need for a soldering iron, got one (Made in USSR )
price range: up to £50 would be ideal!

don't seem to have lamps attached, just a lamp that you have to hold...

You mean a magnifying lamp? Like this -

Maplin sell them, but i think there plastic 'hong kong' specials. Got a metal one for the old man a few years back from John Lewis, wasn't cheap though at £90.
You can also get 'Lazy Hands', to hold the PCB/Socket etc Can't remember the correct name for them though.

It's a Magnifying LAMP
That ebay thing looks shite and having 'Lazy/Helping Hands' mounted to is a bit impratical. Get a seperate lamp and soldering 'hands'.
