Believe it or not I have some of those ancient slideshow projectors one
looks like it could be featured in the movie the time machine lots of
chrome and probably from the 50s and they weigh like 30 pounds the
shipping is the big problem I'd sell them cheap for like 50 bucks but
it's getting it to the post office and shipping it UPS is gone crazy and
FedEx
As far as the bulbs or lamps you can find them typically on eBay or
there are various lamp sellers the ones that I have currently work but I
never guarantee them because once they're tossed around in a truck
bulbs's could fill I found a bunch of the paper cardboard slide carriers
slide mounts are called on eBay and Etsy priced reasonable and I'm sure
BNH photo might have some in New York City if you need a lamp just put
in the search engine model and make of the lamp you need I still have a
handful of lamps myself mostly for 16mm projectors or super eight
projectors I have about 20 or 30 of them
All my projectors ran the last time I checked them out but they've been
sitting around for 1020 years and anything can happen usually a rubber
belt Mayfield or they're just lined up from lack of oil or lack of use
it's practically impossible to warrantee an old movie projector because
they can be working one minute and then fill the next minute typically
what I check for is the oxidization on the lamp base a simple nail file
can you rough up the temps usually brings back to life also using a
contact cleaner can also takeoff the oxidization one of my hobbies was
repairing old movie projectors and I found out that the Dalai Lama had
the same hobby when he was a child I thought that was a real check but I
had something related to the Dalai Lama funny world isn't it
However I have not priced them lightly to see what the going market is
and I'm sure like everything else there a lot of hucksters that are
duping people with broken projectors just like fake movie posters every
other kind of collectible my big thrill was when a family would contact
me that we're trying to play old home movies because your family member
just passed away and they wanted to see grandma again or grandpa and I
would get them their projector running again that might've only needed a
simple ball the look on their face of gratitude was worth $1 million to
me that's why I've probably been a poor businees man as my big thrill
was seeing people happy and content and soothed from stress... Don't get
me wrong occasionally I would make money and that astounded me almost as
much is not making money somehow between 89 and 90 when I started doing
work for the movie studios I had gross sales of over $5 million however
it seems like I paid out most of that money for parts and supplies and
labor to make my products and miss manage the money add to that a
failing marriage and doesn't take long to see I was headed in the wrong
direction
Now I'm just like a sailboat in the ocean letting God direct my boat
It's funny the other day I got accused of being a artificial
intelligence robot because I have conscious streaming of the way I write
and I explain to the woman
I think she was a college professor I explained I use my accessibility
dictation on my iMac computer so I talking to the computer and it writes
what I say açai was expelled from school 15 so I'm not super bright with
grammar or spelling mopo has seen over the years when I have tried to
write an email
All I can say is it's more fun making people happy then it is to make
people sad
God bless everybody

Good suggestions from Tom ..with a little craft you could make the
cardboard borders for the slides on yr own..as to viewing of course a
slide box ..easy and cheap and many available..if you want to project
on a screen or wall then you need one of the somewhat antique
projectors avail on eBay in various states of disrepair..some of these
use 500 watt bulbs and not always avail ..best Alan

I have a bunch of Glass Slides for various Boston Blackie movies.
At
least one of the smaller size Glass Slides is missing the
cardboard
frame which makes it a bit difficult to handle. I was wondering
if
there was any source for acquiring a few unused cardboard frames
that
I could use for those Glass Slides.
I'm still looking for a way to display the Glass Slides as well.
I was
thinking of some sort of light box.
Thanks,
Bill
