My lucky day!

[P3D Darren Gunderson <trustno@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all,
I have been viewing the posts for the past several months and have 
learned much and enjoyed the conversations.  I never really felt I had 
much to contribute as I am sort of a new commer to 3d.  I started by 
building a slide bar for my crown graphic (with a 6x7 back) and was 
astounded the first time I developed the pictures and they actuall 
worked in 3d!  I have since gotten an exceptionally nice Kodak Stereo 
and a Kin-Dar.  Which brings me to my reason for posting tonight.
        I have been using a borrowed Kodaslide I viewer for most of my 
viewing.  Today I was at a small local camera show and I about passed 
out when I found a brand new Kodaslide II viewer in its oringinal box.  
It even still had the price tag with the slogan "Yes, you can buy on 
time!"  Well, I snatched that up because I wanted a better viewer and 
could't have asked for one in nicer shape.  After the show, my wife and 
I went to a antique mall and only about an hour after finding my 
Kodaslide, What do I find sitting on a shelf but a red button Stereo 
Realist in very nice condition.  (except for one small crack that is 
right by the left ocular)  I am not even going to say what I got it for 
as I have many times been jealous at the bargins people say they have 
found and I don't want to put anyone through that.  Lets just say my 
heart was all a flutter when I looked at the price tag.  I have just 
spent about an hour dissasembling it and cleaning it .  Boy it sure 
works great.  I don't even have the Halogen bulbs and I love it.  The 
Kodaslide II is great also.  I love the rheostat.  I hve been sitting 
here looking through all my slides.  Well I seem to have rambled but I 
was so exited I had somthing to talk about.  I will be happy to join in 
the conversttions from now on.
Thanks for reading.
