Nishika/collectors/Birch case/Tedious mounting

[fj834@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Dr. George A. Themelis)]

Tim Smith:  I have nothing against lenticular cameras and prints.  As 
a matter of fact, I still have the Nishica 8000 dream outfit for sale:
 
- Nishika N8000 dream outfit ............................ $ 75
  Camera with "leather" case, twin light 3010 (ready light does
  not work but flash does, only the flash must be worth $20). 
  instructions, boxed lens cleaning kit and video!!!
 
I only wish someone would show some interest...
 
Andy Burr: >Jim Motley (online, so must be a youngster)
I know Jim and I can assure you that he is a youngster (in heart).
The NSA directory is published every few years or so.  As a new NSA 
member you will get the directory soon, but your name will not be 
there until the next edition. 
 
Alan Lewis:  I am with you.  Collecting issues could be discussed 
here.  Most active stereo photographers are collectors too.
 
Stephen Kearney:  I am interested in the Birch cases.  Don't know 
about price, you'll have to figure this out depending on your time and 
materials.

> slides?
Believe it or not, it is making the labels... That's where I need to 
use a computer.  I find mounting itself to be a very pleasant 
experience and not at all tedious.  What's in mounting?  You cut the
chips, put them in the mask, close/tape/heatseal and you are done!
The anticipation of seeing my stereo slides for the first time makes
the process very exciting for me.
 
> Can you think of a tool that would make mounting slides easier and 
> that you would like to see offered for sale?
For aluminum or RBT mounts, no.  For cardboard mounts, a custom-made 
heating iron, perhaps.
