DrT's Stereo Realist Green Button Viewer Book

Everything you always wanted to know about maintaining, repairing, improving and using your Realist green button viewer, 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.

Even if your viewer is working fine you will learn a lot about stereo viewer adjustments, lenses, light bulbs, power sources and about the history and variations of this fine stereo slide viewer.

The package contains a reflector (can be used to replace the existing reflector which has certainly turned off-white with time) and two plastic nuts to attach to the cover screws so they don't fall out when the viewer is opened.
