  My Pentax viewer (also a II, I think) has adjustable
interocular spacing. Each lens is sort of pinned at the
bottom and can pivot in a small arc to allow the eye
spacing to be adjusted.

  Now if your lenses are already as far apart as possible,
then you have a problem.

  You could remount your slides into Realist format and
view them in a viewer that has more interocular adjustment
range. (An added benefit is that if you use a red button,
like I do, you get more magnification so the slides look
better. I have started using two offset Albion masks to
mount the BS slides and mask them down to about 3 perf
wide so that I can set the stereo window properly and mask
off most of the effects of the dark bar.)
