[photo-3d] Re: My RBT 101 Stereo Projector!

[<donaldparks@xxxxxxxxxx>]

    Thanks George for your glowing report on how
well your new RBT 101 is working.  I'm especially
glad to hear that a variety of different slide
mounts seem to work OK after all.  I too would
very much like to be able to give a stereo slide
show without having to be the one in the back of
the room feeding slides into the projector.  It's
far more fun to be up in front with a remote
control.

    Last summer at the NSA I wanted to find out if
an RBT would reliably project my old glass mounted
slides.  These are slides that I spent many, many
hours mounting years ago and want to be able to
project without having to remount them in RBT
mounts.  I talked to you, Jon Golden and David
Starkman and decided not to risk a large amount of
money buying an RBT 101 that probably would not
project my slides reliably.

Jon Golden posted yesterday:

RBT does not guarantee the 101 to work with
anything but the
RBT mounts. I have seen glassed EMDES successfully
projected, as well as
cardboard, and I have heard the legendary stories
of Bob "the electric
pop-up toaster"  Aldridge hand feeding 101's for
the UK crowddds.  So I
wont recommend against mounts other than RBT's,
but I would not
promise the same level of reliability RBT mounts
deliver with the 101
either.

    George,  I'll be interested to hear if you
continue to have luck projecting other than RBT
mounted slides.  If a slide does jam is it a show
stopper, taking a lot of effort to get the slide
unjamed?  Your further impressions will be greatly
appreciated.  Has your projector had any recent
modification to allow it to work better for
projecting none RBT mounted slides?  Thanks again
for your very thorough reports to P3D.
