P3D Re: Roll your own View-Master projector... ?

[Steve Berezin <Sbere@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've thought of doing this with my Jr. projector.  I think the problem
may be brightness.  It seems that the projector is fairly dim now and if
you throw a polarizer over it it would be even dimmer.  The focusing
mechanism is primitive, at best, also. But for $15 a projector and not
much more for a couple of gels and about $4 extra for every scenic reel
you buy it still may be cheaper than buying a view-master projector. Too
bad they don't make an attachment for view-master reels that would fit
into a Compco or TDC projector.
