George, for shame!  You forgot separate 2x2 projectors.  Used Kodaks can
be had readily and cheaply (often for as little as < $100 each), and
unlike the "classics", parts, replacement lamps and lenses are easily
available.  Gepe 2x2 mounts are available in Realist sizes from Reel-3D.

What he said. :-)  Also, when you get really ambitious (as I know you
probably will) you will want to add a second pair of projectors, a
couple of Brackett synchronizer stands and program your own multi-image
automated dissolve show.  Try that with a TDC or a Triad... ;-)
