Dissolves for 3-D projectors

[JGoldenRRP@xxxxxxx]

George, you may have your next product in-line.....how about going down to
the R & D dept. at Themelis International and talking with the folks about a
dissolver that would operate with two of any old style projectors......like
your viewer power supplies...where you bypass the on- off button on the
viewer,
(great option for those old Revere viewers where the button spring is either
broken or corroded from battery acid)
I know this is not as simple as it sounds, but take a couple of older
projectors.....say a Compco, and a TDC, and figure a way to get into the
power that is supplied to the bulbs.....provide a rheostat so that you can
fade up on one image....and fade down on the other.....boy would that open a
world of options to our hobbby which is in great need of reasonable cost
projector systems for Realist slide format. Yes, there are other problems to
deal with....like optical compatability of two projectors, different makes,
same screen....but this is a brainstorming session folks.  
The Brackett Dissolver changed my whole way of thinking about pictures in
3-D, taking them....creating stop motion sequences, dissolving one image to
the next, with music, with sound effects, and creating dimensional
interaction....along with color and placement on the screen.  
Unfortunately.....it is a loss for all of us not to have more of Bob
Brackett's machines available.....maybe someday.....and until then....if we
can figure a way to create a device for other Realist projectors......even
the Fed Boy.....then a whole world will open up to all of us.....one where
collective 3-D viewing is more acccesible.

I do a show for Joy Aubrey and Ron Labbe callled 'The 3-D Show".....which I
take around New England to schools.....I do about 5 to 10 shows a
month......(2 x 2's in Ektagraphics here....not the Brackett) and boy there
is nothing like hitting 250- 500 people at a time with that first 3-D image,
the hair gets pasted back on my head from the woooowwwwww that the crowd
gives off, what more can I say.....I'll forward  this message to Bob
Brackett.....and I, who has no place designing electronic devices.....hope
someone out there might have an inkling of an idea as to how we can get 3-D
dissolve in to more projecting situations.  Jon Golden RBT Stereo Products
