George,

  I had asked for a review of this viewer a few months age. Now
that you have one George, would you care to give us a review of
the "before" viewer? Sounds like the lenses aren't great. How does
the fluorescent lighting work? Do you have any slides to check it
out with?

  What diameter of lenses does it have? Edmund Scientific may
have an 80 mm achromat that would work. The catalog I have from
their Canadian distributor shows 40dia at 80 fl, and 25 and 30
dia at 75 fl. There are also 100 mm fl at 25 and 30 mm dia.
Efston doesn't carry all the Edmund stuff so if you check a
real Edmund catalog they might have something that matches.

Good luck - Greg
