   I've wanted something like that (thermal imaging) since my working days.   
   Best I could do back then was a temp probe in a blob of silicone grease   
   on suspect components.   
      
   Would still like one but have no particular need right now. Nowadays I   
   try hard to have patience with items like this. It's better to wait   
   until really need it and then buy current or recent offerings.   
   Prices and abilities for these items keep getting better at a rapid   
   pace.   
      
   I have a cheap infrared temp gun. It's helpful and will be good enough   
   for now...
