Re: Viewer for Stereo Realist slides?

A Realist "RED BUTTON" viewer is perhaps the best way to experience your old stereo slides. There's always a bunch on eBay. They have achromat lens to keep the view superior to most other viewers.

CAUTIONS:

The Realist Red Button viewer is bakelite and cracks easily. Get one with no cracks.

The Realist red Button viewer coud have been strored away with 2 "D" cell batteries installed. Internal corrosion from leaky batteries is common (but repairable).

This seller has the best selection at any one time, really knows his stuff, and decribes the items fairly and honestly.

I don'r know If he has any red buttons for sale currently, but you always ask..
