Last year, I did a cost analysis of three different glass mounting
systems:
1.  Albion masks between glass.  2.  RBT mounts w/ anti-newton glass. 
3.EMDE mounts.  (Being a cost accountant, I was in my element).  The
most economical is the RBT by far.  But what about quality results and
ease of use?

Once I figured out which adjustment to use for vertical alignment on
slide #1, the mounting for all the rest was a complete snap!  ;-)  For
my Kodak Stereo, the left pin-rail goes one way and the right pin-rail
the other -- works for every shot.  That means great consistency for an
unlimited number of slides.  When you are mounting for projection,
consistency is a _nice_
thing.  :-)

It's also wonderful that I can open up the mount and reclose it so
easily. Sweetening that pair is so easy now.  My only regret is I waited
so long  And wasted time, money, and stress on the cardboard mounts
(which aren't economical when I throw them away).  And the price of
RBT's has dropped a dollar.

BTW, this is not a paid testimonial.  I'm just a happy user with a lot
of slides, who projects in stereo.  Easy to use; most economical; top
quality results .... what else is there?  Robert Linnstaedt

The RBT mounting system is beautifully thought out. 
All sorts of nice little features that you kind of have to discover 
on your own, but they are quick, easy, and _very_ precise. 

I've mounted hundreds of slides with them, and hope to have them 
available forever! Enjoy Gary Nored



Robert and Gary...thanks for the feedback on RBT's....and two pieces of
info for you...and all reading this.

1)  Don't forget to read the RBT newsletter on how to use aluminum masks
in conjunction with RBT's to create custom masking. Also...Harry
Richards will hopefully soon have his thin cardboard masks...round
holes, trapezoids, elipses...which can be sandwhiced between two RBT
halves for some really cool effects.  If anyone would like that
information, it is available...email me your slo-mail address it will be
sent to you.

2) Look for the price of RBT mounts to drop again around or at NSA time
in July.  Stay tuned.  Regar-d-d-d-s Jon Golden
