Kodaslide Stereo Viewer Book & Repair Kit

Everything you always wanted to know about maintaining, repairing, improving and using your Kodaslide I or II stereo slide viewers, written by an authority in stereo viewer use and repair (that's me!)

As you can see from the these pictures and the table of contents below, this 50 page book is spiral bound and contains lots of pictures and diagrams, guiding you through the basic maintenance and repair work.

Of interest is a "hardware package" that comes with the book. The package contains a reflector which is brighter and sturdier than the original reflector. Also, a fine sand paper to clean the contacts and material to fix the "frozen focusing" a common problem in these 50 year old viewers.

Shown in the left is the slide carrier of a Kodaslide viewer, widened to view 7p slides. The book explains how to do that!
