Vincent, I recommend the Datarase II. It's as cheap as its gets for a
commercial eraser and it's very reliable. Considering that PIC `windowed'
(/JW) parts cost around $20 and a $40 eraser that will last for years and
supports up to 4 DIP devices of any size, it seems to me to be a good
investment.

   I'm sure you will get a lot of feedback about `home-brew' erasers that
range from UV tubes to X-Rays to leaving them out in the sun (gawd, I actually
tried that with a 1702 in the 70's...) and nuclear explosions ;-)

   When you consider your time, the cost of the materials, and the very
serious hazard to your eyes if not constructed properly, I think a savings
of maybe $10 is not worth it...
