I can see your web page already in my mind:

1) Nice photo's detailing the differences between the various stereo
viewers.  What makes one better than the other. Nothing more, nothing
less.  A well placed word or two about what you offer for sale would not
be out of place.

2) Same with cameras 

3) Same with film choices.

4) A nifty section explaining the Sunny 16 rule.

5) An entertaining writeup on why all viewers should use halogen bulbs
(and guess what.... you can tell people that you sell them).

6) A spiffy section explaining the Cha-Cha.

7) Subscription info. on the oHIo stereo club and publication.  Maybe an
old article reprint to show people what you publish.

8) A photo of Dr T!

There is so much more that you could offer, and still not "give away the
farm".

What you can give is your opinions on anything you want. The rest you
can sell.

The power and versatility of self publishing on the web is fantastic.

You can make your web site earn some money by highlighting your products
and services, while offering some amount of educational and entertaining
content.  Sell yourself!
