I think it would be tough for me, too.  I have an old roll
of 120 film I use for test runs through cameras and I sure
have problems rolling it back.

Yes, that would be great--I was thinking along the same

a projection bulb, condensor lens, slide-holder, and a
place to mount a camera with the back taken off?
