I saw one once at somebody's home and it was not working. I guess in '68 it seemed kinda cool. The cropping and picture quality would kill it for me. Slides are almost like being there with a good screen but on a regular TV screen I think it would not be good enough to see the details. It has the owner's manual which I suspect is rare. Shouldn't a set like that be remote control? I guess the slide set-up has a wired remote.
I think it is most interesting that one of those is in the Smithsonian. I wonder if they bought it new or when and where they got it from? Maybe they got one of those that never sold and got all the original paperwork? Do they ever show it working? What other sets are in the Smithsonian?
Thanks
