I am glad to hear that you liked the viewer!  Size wise is about average. 
Focal length is about 44 mm which makes the mag close to 6 times (250/44). 
The lenses are double-element achromatic, excellent quality.  I use
rechargeable batteries which are considerably lighter so my viewer is not
so heavy.  There might be a way to attach the PS-1 so that you don't have
to press the button.  The PS-2 has an ON-OFF switch for this purpose.

I will be mailing slides soon!  Take care. -- George
