Gee, thanks Eric!  I am blushing!   

To be honest, I basically do what I like.  If I help advancing the stereo
hobby in the process, so much the better!

It is remarkable indeed!  We have demand and supply to thank for that.  I
buy most equipment from photo-dealers and cannot imagine what they pay the
original owners (see previous posting).

Thanks for these comments.  Because of extra pressure with the new
Cleveland stereo club and my slide circulating/exhibiting activities in
Detroit, PSA, SSA, etc., and also because of my very own time-consuming
stereo photography, I have reduced the time and effort that I put in the
viewer repair services.  I only work on red button viewers and do not
actively solicit business.  I am just too busy to do that at the present
time and my sincere apologies to those who's viewers or orders are/have
been delayed.

Nice job!  There is a small difference in focal length between the lenses
in the Wollensak and Revere (W are longer FL than R)  Putting W lenses in R
viewers will result in the focusing being at the extreme end.  Do you have
any problem with that?

Thanks again!  -- George Themelis
