nice - i'll have a word with my uncle (he had the rest of my granddads equipment) next week, as he might still have the manual.

WOW Chris that would be superb and I would pay you something for it as like I said this is going to live most of its life sat on a vintage vivo tripod as a display in my home and the manual could sit under it in the cabinet

Chris, as this was your late Grandads, if ever I feel the need to sell it could I contact you to see if you would like it back to display on the vivo of course and free, just a thought

Yes. That was, I believe, the best year ever to be born!

Don't worry about a scanner just to look at the slides - hold them up to the light.

Then buy a projector. You will never want to look at a computer monitor again.
