I konw of no one in Texas with either of these.
If you can't find one, hop a Southwest flight and come to Phoienix.

Question for the ignorant: What's so special about these gadgets / tests?
For those of us stricken with the genetic defect of color deficiency, it allows us other color vision tests (sanctioned by the FAA) that we can take prior to accepting the stygma, and career ending, restriction on one's medical.
The plate test so common with FAA doctors is crap, plainly put. Antiquated technology that doesn't accurately reflect aviation duties - yes Ishihara, I'm talking to you. (Note, this is coming from a CFI and ATC Controller with a CV deficiency). However, its cheap and a quick way of determining whether there is a 'problem.'
Rant over.

We have Farnsworth Lantern (FALANT) and ATC plates (Dvorine 1953). So far so good on the Farnsworth bulb holding up, and we have one spare. Also we have found an occasional airman that fails the Farnsworth but passes the Dvorine. Need to call us for appointment because we bring the machine from Houston.
Description of FALANT here
