P3D Re: Camera show in Chicago?

[Linda Nygren <lnygren@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all who replied and helped me find the show in Chicago. I had
a thoroughly enjoyable time, and spent far too much money. I didn't take
notes, but there certainly were many of the more common stereo cameras
and viewers in evidence, including Realist 3.5's for $60-$185 or so,
2.8's for $400-$450, Red Button Viewers for $100-$125, Kodak Stereo
Viewers for around $100 (I's being priced the same as II's for the most
part). TDC Colorists, Ilocas etc. of course were in evidence as well.
Also a Wollensak for $800, a Belplasca with closeup lens and viewer for
$1400 I believe, and miscellaneous older card and slide viewers. One
vendor had a box of nude Realist format vintage slides in so-so
condition for $5 apiece. 

I picked up some interesting odds and ends including some Kodak "compact
camera stands" which are like little monopods on a rectangular plastic
base to be used as a tabletop camera support. They are great for
displaying cameras and viewers. My biggest downfall was a large lot of
View-Master Personal equipment including camera, 24" closeup, model D
viewer, 500+ personal reels, Stereomatic 500 projector, screen (with
original tags indicating that it is a "Radiant Stereomaster"), library
box and albums, etc. I will be selling off some duplicate items in the
near future.
