One of the things I love about collecting View-Master is that there is always something new to learn. Tell us one interesting bit you picked up this year. Here...
Happy New Year. Someone is auctioning something on ebay I am not familiar with(not surprising), two Robin Hood light blue reels in sleeves that say "Record A...

Record-A-View was a set of records (they came in 45 rpm and 78 rpm versions) put out by Columbia Records that included two View-Master reels to accompany the...
More reels just found, and by Jan 3 all remaining vintage reels below that will be sold as a lot so this is the last posting. Thanks. Jon G 3DC Reels are...
New to stereo. Wanted to see if I could exchange emails with folks useing the Meopta Stereo 35 camera and cutter. Also looking for a copy of an english manual...
Hi folks - I've put up some of my stereo photos on my website. These shots were made using a Pentax beam splitter. You can't get to the directory from the...
Hello, Looking for others who use the Meopta Stereo 35 camera and cutter. Also looking for someone with a manual in english that I can get a copy of in order...
... LoL - if that happened nothing would ever be rare again and there'd be no point to ebay or any of the other online/retail stores! A most interesting...
Hi Alan I'm pretty sure I have a translation of the instructions somewhere - the father of an old friend of mine was Czech. I will let you know if I can find ...
It is rumored that the condenser in the S1 projector is the same size as the 500's, but I have never compared them. I haven't heard of anyone actively selling...
It would be a shame to ruin one or two S1's to get the condensors. Some on this list may remember a few years ago when an S1 sold for about $500 on eBay(tho...
This is from Don Balmer, accurate as of 1991: 23 mm diameter 33 mm focal length plano-convex Edmond Scientific stock number P30,525 $9.00 Don writes: "I don't...
Although I do not like taking an S1 out of commission, I think a 500 is more important viewing wise, so the sacrifice may be justified. You do bring up...
The purpose of a condenser lens is to "condense" or focus the light on the subject - in this case the film chip. They must be of the proper focal length in...
I seem to recall that the Condenser lenses in the Stereomatic 500 are made out of heat absorbing glass, so they serve another purpose in addition to condensing...
Hi, Not only is the one in the S1 not correct, the Stereomatic 500 has two different condensors in it. The one next to the bulb is not the same as the one...
Hi again everybody, and HNY from UK! I've recently bought a packet which I don't remember seeing before, so am seeking wisdom from fellow enthusiasts. It's a...
Just a short note that I've got a load of VM hardware, reels and packets listed on ebay at present, under my ID "nutnut22". And, following an earlier posting,...
Hi Neil How's things? Nice find on the LAP set - and VERY rare (overused word I know, but appropriate in this case). I have had the reels & booklets many...
Hi Neil How about calling them 'Uncommon' ;-) See more here (STILL under construction, I'm afraid!) http://www.tg004b3325.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/homepage.htm ...
... Yeah, I remembered your use of that word, and in fact I do use it sometimes in the ebay body text. Problem is that space is at a premium in the ebay title...
BTW, if any of you collect the series of US states packets (sawyers and GAF) with map outer covers, I currently have over 40 different packs for sale on ebay,...
Hi Neil Yes, it is too long a word, so I often put rare in the title & then qualify it as uncommon in the description saying that rare has less letters! Tim...
