I spoke earlier about my nostalgia trip, and the desire to gather around me
things that I used to own as a kid............well, I've now got something
else......
a 3Dimention Model E Viewer made in 1957! Wow, did I get lost in many
another world when I inserted the Viewmaster series discs, of which there
must be thousands. I've just acquired off e-bay my first collection of
twelve assorted reels from 1948-50. And currently on ebay is a three disc
set of Robin Hood that I had back in the '60's. I'll have a house full of
these things by the end of the month:-)

Yes. But for me the fascination is collecting the ones that were around
decades ago, in so much that on each 3D photo is captured the essence of the
era. I doubt whether recent reels of anything would captivate me in any way.

OK. I thought you were being a bit odd here, but I can begin to see where
you're coming from. I revel in old photographs of, particularly, this
area. and it's fair to say that I would enjoy the chance to use the old
cameras that were used in the making of the images. Go for it.

I'll buy the albums off you....providing they're pop or rock albums from the
late '60's early 70's:-)
