outdated glasses? (longish)

[P3D Farfl's house <lederman@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I recently won a box of old polarized glasses from the '50s, I believe,
from an auction. They are all mighty sturdy and come in decorative
little pouches. I set up my FED projector, and put in a slide. LUNCHBAG
LETDOWN!!! No stereo effect! Obviously, I thought, something was wrong
with the projector. I then put on a pair of the FED glasses, and
WOOOOAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! The person's foot in the picture leaped out and
almost kicked me in the face!!  My question to the group; do the
polarized lenses in the projector and the glasses have to match? Is that
why I'm not seeing the stereo effect with the older glasses? Or is this
because the older glasses have all lost their polarization? I tried all
of them. Does one have to buy glasses that are manufactured by the same
folks as the projector?
As for the auctioneer, the most honorable, kind and excellent John
Saddy; he refunded my money IMMEDIATELY (I asked for a credit
instead)and he also righted another situation in which I won six slides
that were all supposed to be originals; three were, three were dupes. He
charged me half of my bid, only! A great guy to deal with. One more bit
of glowing recommendation; I bought a Realist case from Dr. T. It didn't
fit properly. Do you know what the man did? He sent a large box full of
cases, and told me to pick the one I want, and return the rest!!! That's
what I call SERVICE!!!
Happy That Stereo Buffs Aren't Anuses,
