I hate to break the bad news but the interocular adjustment 
will not help if the slide is mounted properly (with standard
infinity separation.)  They can reduce the spacing of the lenses 
but they will not be able to fuse the two images.

Actually, the only reason I need interocular adjustment in
a viewer is for slides mounted with too large infinity separation
and I then separate the lenses further.  Some viewers (like
the new View-Master) have the lenses too close, a design
mistake, resulting in double images at infinity for me.

Yes, but it has the worse lenses ever put on a stereo viewer!
Still, for under $50 it is OK.  Other viewers to consider:
Brumberger (for $30 or so), Life-Like.
