[photo-3d] Red Button Anxiety

["Paul Young" <paul.young@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am fairly new to the 3D experience.

I have bought a Stereo Realist, and Red Button, having paid the high 
end of what they're worth, on Ebay. I have shot, had developed, and 
mounted 2 rolls of film and am having a ball with it.  

I have 5 siblings with whom I like to share my new hobby (i.e. 
letting them use my Red Button viewer to view my latest slides). No 
problem. My concern comes in when all the kids (my nieces and 
nephews) want to see and touch them all, too.  I love to show it to 
them, but I have some anxiety over trusting greasy little fingers to 
hold my coveted, 50 yr old viewer without dropping it. I am 
considering acquiring a second, less valuable, but fair quality, 
viewer for handling by "everybody".  This could be an ambient or bulb 
lighted viewer. 

Any suggestions?

I'm also considering giving some stereo pairs as gifts, and the 
giftee will need something to view it with.  Any favorite "giveaway" 
viewers?
