Australian Stereo Site Updated

[P3D Michael Levine <mle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have substantially changed the Australian Stereo and ViewMaster Site to
make navigation much easier and to speed up access times by making the
table listing of all reels etc optional.

The history of the manufacture and distribution of Viewmaster and clone
Viewmasters in Australia has been revised and increased with inclusions
such as the first Kodak reel and viewer list which goes to explain why some
USA reels are so common in OZ.

I have added pictures of a mottled red Aussie Super Views viewer and listed
some of the film strips. The film strips seem to suggest a date in the
early 1950's as the vintage of both viewer and film. I only know one other
collector who has a viewer and some strips. I have found that Tru Vue films
can be used by these viewers, although the V shape at the start of the
TruVue film does cause some difficulty.

Also to be found is more information about Photoscope reels variations of
Sight-Seer reels, newly discovered Australian made ViewMaster Fold Out
Packets and white printed reels, information about packets of reels made in
Australia and Sawyers news about the commencement and ending of the
Australian VM operation

There is information and pictures on the Toy Story special binocular
Australian Viewer Pack and Australian Cereal Box Stereo Cards, a Chinese VM
rip off using square cards, 40's and 50's advertisements and reviews, and
the Hanimex Vista Viewer system.

If you stop by please let me know by email.
