Uses for old slide projectors?
Slide projectors are being tossed right and left. Soon they'll be as
scarce as typewriters and buggy whips. Has anyone come up with interesting uses for their optics or other components? David Takemoto-Weerts JPL Solar System Ambassador Nat'l Assoc. of Rocketry, Level 1 Hi-power Davis/UC Davis Astronomy Clubs Davis, CA

I know that there are planetariums all over the country with large libraries of slide-based shows. These guys are paying a small fortune to machinists to custom build spare parts for their projectors. They'll pay good money for working projectors. Something to remember before tossing one. _________________________________________________ Chris L Peterson Cloudbait Observatory http://www.cloudbait.com

I still use slide film but I hand view the slides and then copy them with my
scanner. -- The Lone Sidewalk Astronomer of Rosamond Telescope Buyers FAQ http://home.inreach.com/starlord Sidewalk Astronomy www.sidewalkastronomy.info The Church of Eternity http://home.inreach.com/starlord/church/Eternity.html "twotired" wrote in message ups.com...
