Thank you Zeide and Jeremy,
Since I only have a dozen or so pearls on old pins and single, mateless earrings which I'd like to remove and add to existing strings, buying a big machine is out. Other options are to set them on new earrings or send the whole bunch off to someone. I may try the low tech method on some old ones that are scarely more than bead just for the fun of it.
I had read that to find the second drill spot on the opposite side, the old method was to touch that side to oil. It would seem that a laser might work better. Any ideas?
