I recently found a TDC stereo projector at a photo swap meet for $250.
It didn't come with a case, however, but it did come with a couple of
extra bulbs, and a couple of OLD polarizing glasses that were worn out.
However, the projector's internal polarizing filters were still good,
and my Realist-format slides project great on a silver screen.

The biggest problem I've found, however, is that the mounting has to be
right on, or you'll wind up adjusting the projector for each slide.
Slides that look great in a hand viewer, may need horizontal or vertical
adjustments with the projector from one slide to the next.

All in all, though, projecting the good slides are great!  It's also a
thrill to sit five or six folks down, give them polarizing glasses, and
have a stereo slide show.

I didn't get a manual with mine, but everything is fairly
straight-forward.  If a bulb goes out, the bulb type should be marked on
the top of it.

I check eBay for one before I found this one at a swap meet down in
Cincinnati, but I too found prices a little more than I wanted to
spend.  $250 was better.

Good luck, hope this info helps.
