P3D Microfiche Viewmaster?

Yesterday, I found a surplus Bell & Howell dual magnification
microfiche viewer in a computer store. I didn't really know
what to do with it but since it worked fine and had hacker 
possibilities I bought it. The price was right at only $30
CDN, which in real money (US currency) would be $20.

It has two magnification levels and on the lower magnification,
you can comfortably view VM reels! The quality is excellent!
Other good uses is to view the details on slides and negatives.
You can also view opaque paper, albeit much dimmer. 

I haven't figured a way to convert it to viewing 3-D, which
obviously would be great. The store did have some more 
viewers and a subsequent check on ebay, sure enough, turned
up some more.
