A much easier and faster way to do this is to modify an SV1
viewer. Simply pry off the front white diffuser. Now when you
have placed the chips on the RBT jig on a light box just use
the viwer to preview and set the window. Because you flip the
jig over on the Spicer mount they are face up on the jig so
you don't have to view backwards and you don't have to remove
and remount anything.

I don't know what an SV1 is.  Presumably a cheap steal the light viewer?

When I use the red button to preview my image the chips are not reversed 
and I don't know what you mean by removing or remounting, since they are 
not yet mounted.  When putting the chips on the jig I put the emulsion 
side down, front side up. Then I place the desired size mount on top of 
the jig and the chips are facing the right direction.  I then place the 
jig/mount sandwich in the viewer so that the front side of the mount is to 
the front and the chips are in the correct orientation.

If I used a steal the light viewer on top of the RBT jig I couldn't judge 
what the cropped image would look like in reduced height, reduced width or 
4 perf spicer mount.
