Nimslo and Teco-Nimslo - Help!

I have no experience with stereo or other photographic equipment. I am very
interested in the Nimslo and Teco-Nimslo because I was told it can do
Lenticular and side-by-side pairs.I called the man at Technical Interprises 
and he helped allot. However, I feel more confused than ever!
QUESTIONS:
1.Can someone please explain how this four lens camera uses the film? Does it
   record four pictures on one frame or two? 
2. If you block-out two lenses can you make a regular stereo-pair on one
frame (in correct 
    order for viewing?). Does it take the stereo-pair on two seperate frames
(seperate pictures?).
3. Can anyone explain the Teco-Nimslo and how it uses film? I was told it
advances 
    differently so that you don't waste half the film. However, the
stereo-pairs are in reverse
    order or something and would have to be cut and pasted to get the
correct order?
    I'm lost! 
4. If you didn't care about wasteing film (I don't) would it be better to
get a regular Nimslo? Will the
    Macro attachments fit a regular Nimslo?
5. I was also told it makes a difference about what kind of film was used.
Something about Chroma
    or Kodachrome or something would reverse the image or ......I have no
idea? Do you?
6. I also have about a million other questions, but my ignorance on this
whole subject
    prevents me from asking more.
Anyone know of a book, manual, FAQ, database, or something that could help
me with
the Nimslo?
The camera (Nimslo or other)  I am looking for:
1. Must take regular side-by-side pairs (one frame or two) that can be viewed 
    as prints with no special processing.
2. Must also be able to do Lenticular (I found I want this ability after all).
3. Should take good quality pictures (not grainy, dark, ect...).
4. Be of a modest price ($50-$150).
Suggestions?
