[BadVista Advocate] An ad campaign idea

[Don Hensley]

If you can find one anymore, I suspect a thrift store would almost give you 
the thing - 5 - 10 bucks, but at 10 bucks it better be in real good shape. 
Anyway that would be my opine.

Of course it is also barely possible that at least some of them have become 
'collectibles'... 

As to the lens to cover what you want, and if the projector would be bright 
enough, you would just have to experiment. But any one in a camera club or 
class, (even digital uses a lens) should be able to help you right out on 
these issues.

Or just try one out, if you can find one. Some one you know, probably has 
parents or grand parents that no doubt have one in storage some place. They 
were the tech of the day, back when. I'd think they'd just give it to you.
