Thanks Abram!  I think this story points again to the
power of ebay.  I know some people don't like ebay
but the fact it is that it has given us the opportunity to
see and acquire rare stereo items, and it is controlling
(lowering really) the value of more common stereo
equipment.

The other day I got a phone call from a local fellow
who bought a stereo camera in ebay, shot his first
roll and now he is looking for help to mount the slides.
If it wasn't for ebay, this guy would not be in stereo
today.  This is a story that's happening much more often
than some people think.

George
