It should be noted however that the red button can be modified
to view 8p (I can do it!) and the TDC 116 will show 8p, no problem!

Even though I generally like 7p slides as a good choice of size,
now with my RBT S1 I am tempted to mount a few shots in 8p mounts.
This size is compatible with my equipment (DrT red button and TDC
116).  However, I must agree that most clubs set their screen so
that 7p barely fits in it and 8p is out of the question.  Maybe
one day this will change, ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE MARKETS A GOOD
SILVER SCREEN THAT IS WIDER THAN TALL (ron labbe, are you listening?
:-))
