    Jared,
    
    Unless you can get a hold of an old C.Plath with the adjustable bubble,
    don't waste your money on the expensive "professional" bubble attachments.
    You are better off spending the $49.00 to get the practice level which, I
    suspect, is just as accurate as the more expensive bubble attachments
    (except for the aforementioned C.Plath attachment).
    
    I believe that Mr. Gebhart came into a few dozen of the old C.Plath versions
    and offers them in his catalogue. My advice is to snap one up if you can.
    
    Robert

    within 2 minutes of accuracy.
