P3D Rotary Viewer

[fj834@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Dr. George A. Themelis)]

I am trying to see if I'll fill a whole digest with my postings :-)  

Last night I bought a rotary viewer that a member brought in for sale.  It
is similar to the Realist rotary viewer but without the Realist logo.  It
has a rotating drum that has a number (12?) of slides attached to it.  The
optics are the front part of a Realist red button viewer (my favorite
optics!).  You turn the handle to view one slide after the other. The
motion of the drum is smooth and stepless.  Light comes from two light
bulbs, each behind a film chip.  The unit runs in AC (plugs in the wall). 
It was meant for displays (as in stores) not for personal use.  It is not
easy to change slides.  These are hold with metal tabs that will break if
bend back and forth a couple of times.  I pl2~AHan to put some of my best
slides and have in the NSA shows, etc. by my table.
