I only saw a Slide Theater in operation once, when we had one in the lab for evaluation. The picture quality was OK (though not as detailed as the slides themselves), but the thing that was most bothersome to me was cropping off the sides of the slides due to the different aspect ratio compared to the TV. I don't recall it having any customer adjustment for overscan. Do I remember correctly?
You're probably right. Only the TV half of my slide theater works ( and only because I fixed the wires the mice chewed through while I had the chassis out to make it light enough to move on stairs) the slide optics and chassis are full of mouse nest and the set is buried waiting it's turn on my bench... may be a few years before that happens.
