Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be
filed by Electroglas, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 1998 (the "Registration
Statement"), relating to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, of 305,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Shares"). The
Shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to Stock Options Granted pursuant to
Agreement with certain employees of Techne Systems, Inc. As counsel to the
Company, we have examined the proceedings taken by the Company in connection
with the registration of the Shares.
It is our opinion that the Shares, when issued and sold in the
manner described in the Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, will
be legally and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and further consent to all references to us in the
Registration Statement and any amendments thereto.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Morrison & Foerster LLP
