P3D Mounting Experiment

[fotoschack@xxxxxxxxx (Gary Schacker)]

Just before Emde recently went out of business I stockpiled a quantity
of the outer aluminum frames into which you slide a mask sandwiched with
glass. I forget the model number.(3400?)  I bet many of you still have
these.

Recently I began using Spicer mounts and the mounting jig sold by Rocky
Mountain Memories.  A system I have fallen in love with.  I'm pleased to
report that it is a simple matter to transfer a Spicer mounted slide to
glass mounting simply by cutting the Spicer mount in half (eliminating
the foldover half), sandwiching in glass and sliding into the Emde
frame.  I was afraid the sandwich would be too thick but it isn't.  So
the Spicer mounts work equally well as a complete two part mount or as a
one part mask.  Cool.
