INSERTING THE FIRST PICTURE REEL
Move the Reel Advance Lever to
@
, take out the Focusing Reel, and put in
your first VIEW-MASTER Personal or stock Reel. Handle it by the edge to avoid
fingerprinting the film, and insert it with the “P” arrow pointing up, and the
“P” arrow side of the Reel facing to the rear of the projector. This will enable
you to show the first picture first, correctly oriented.
Line it up, as you did the Focusing Reel, by a complete down-and-up move-
ment of the Reel Advance Lever.
PREPARING THE SHOW
-
Be sure that each one of
your
audience is equipped with polarizing
glasses designed for viewing stereo projection,
and
that the screen you use is suitable for stereo
projection--usually with
a
metallic surface. When your audience is seated and have put on their
glosses, turn off the lights and start the show.
SCENE CHANGING
-
Leave each scene on the screen long enough for your audience to look
around in it, then change scenes with
a
complete down-and-up movement of the Reel Advance
lever.
OPERATOR’S LIGHT - The hooded slot at the rear of the projector gives off just enough light
to enable the operator to handle the Reels and read their titles.
SCENE COUNTER LIGHT
-
As the seventh and last scene is flashed on the screen, the red window
on top of the projector will glow, warning you to change Reels.
VERTICAL REGISTER - The lever on the left of the projector adjusts the up-and-down alignment
of the images on the screen if the pictures are improperly aligned in the Reel. The Reel Advance
Lever automatically
re-centers
this lever at every scene change.
Additional
adjustment is
seldom necessary.
REPLACING THE PROJECTION LAMP - Loosen the knob found under the rear of the projector
and lift off the lamp housing. Remove the burned-out lamp by pressing firmly down and turning
1/4
turn counter-clockwise. Replace with a
500TlOP
lamp.
REMOVING THE REEL ADVANCE ASSEMBLY
-
This assembly may be removed for dusting or for
cleaning the rear of the projection lenses by lifting off the lamp housing and loosening the two
slotted holding bolts with a thin coin.
POLAROID FILTERS - The filter assembly is attached to the front of the Reel Advance Assembly.
These filters should be handled with extreme care.
A tiny scratch may result in a noticeable
lack of sharpness in the projected image. However, fresh Polaroid material can be brought before
the light beam by simply lifting the long filters and turning them 180”. The cut-off corners
prevent your putting them in wrong.
CLEANING THE PROJECTION LENSES - Clean, only when necessary, by brushing gently to
remove scratch-producing dust particles, then moistening slightly and polishing carefully with a
clean, lint-free cloth or tissue.
PROJECTION HINTS
Use the recommended Polaroid viewing glasses, and
a
metallic-surface screen. Hove the room
as dark as possible. Project over the head of your audience who should sit in front of the projector.
