Brenda....

I purchased a TDC projector a number of years ago for about $350.  It is
an interesting, vintage piece of equipment which does it's job very well
(note the lack of technical jargon here), though you may have to raise
your voice to be heard over the sound of it's fan.  If you're viewing
slides in the winter months, you get the extra added value of heating
your home by stereo bulb power as well.  Although you will have to
insert and retrieve slides one-by-one,  I think you'd be pleased with
the results.

When I first switched on my TDC 116 and popped in a slide (it was the
first projected stereoscopic photography I had ever seen) I was
thrilled.  Projected stereoscopic images are magical.  

You should definately get one!
