Hmm, so if it's less than 10% lower, it is erroneous to believe that it is a
lower magnification?  You had a more tolerant math teacher than I,
apparently. :--)

Since I only have the one type, I was comparing the apparent image size of
the hacked View-Master to the Kodaslide II only.  The magnification is
considerably greater in the Kodaslide, more than 10%.  Sorry if I confused
you.  Which specific viewers are you comparing your View-Master to?  (So I
can avoid them)
