During the last Kansai Stereo club meeting, we were treated to 
a Fed projector show and tell. The owner also said he had to 
disassemble and reassemble the machine to put it into operable 
shape, as it was far from ready-to-use as received. He brought 
a hefty step-up transformer (Japanese domestic AC is 100 
volts), and had prepared plenty of nice paper glasses with 
vertically oriented polarizers to match the projector's 
characteristics.    

The slide carrier seemed a bit flimsy, but the machine is 
compact and seems to do the job. The slides (taken with a 
FED) looked great and everyone enjoyed the experience. Given 
some TLC and a few customized improvements, it might be 
fun to use.
