Ron does not have any lenses AFAIK.  Two options: 1) Get them
from another viewer, 2) use the Revere lenses which are 
achromats and match the red button's FL and diameter (I 
can supply these).

Be advised that the lens holders of the white button viewer
might not hold the achromats (different threading) so you 
might as well get a pair of the lens holders instead of just
one and specify that you need them for a red button (not
white button) viewer.

It is common to find TDC 716 projectors with damaged heat
absorbing filters.  For some reason - possibly because of the
higher heat output of the 750W bulbs - I have only seen this
condition in 716 TDCs and not 116.  Unrelated, I have never
seen a slow fan motor in a 716 projector but plenty in 116.

I do not know of a, say, Edmund Scientific stock number
that matches the size of these.  Best bet might be to find
worthless 2D TDC projectors and salvage stereo useful
parts.
