RBT Stereo Slide Mounts

I will honest with you
:  I remember when I first tried RBT mounts.  It was
not
love at first sight!  I thought they were a bit too thick, I was not very happy with the reflections at the edges around the apertures (I was used to the clean look of aluminum mounts) and, of course, they were rather expensive.
But, with time, I grew fonder and fonder of these mounts, to the point of using them exclusively today for my best stereo slides, and all the stereo slides I project (which is quite a bit!).
Here is why:
They are a
snap
to use:
Separate the two halves.
Put a pair of pin bars (while little things) in place (usually for me this is the upper channel, same orientation).
Put the film chips in place.
Adjust the stereo window by sliding the chips horizontally while freeviewing the stereo pair.  For a beginner, just center the film chips in the mount aperture openings.
Snap the two halves together - Done!
Finishing touches include writing with marker the title and other info in the front and putting a sticker with my name and address in the back.
Adjustment of the stereo window is very easy since the film chips slide parallel, being supported by the pin bars.
Vertical adjustment is precise, done in steps of 0.1mm (changing the orientation of the pin bars changes the vertical difference - details are in the enclosed instructions).
Their extra thickness and stiffness is a plus in stereo projection.
Being made of plastic means that they do not have cardboard dust like some cardboard mounts, they do not have oils and will not scratch the film (like some metal mounts), and are reasonably maintenance-free (just store in a dark, dust-free place).
They come in a large variety of aperture openings (plus a unique system for vertical cropping to either 20 or 15mm)
Note
:
The following sizes are available.

Also, this picture here shows all the available combinations
of the pin bars in the top or bottom channels of the mount.
I am now a big proponent of these slide mounts and I recommend them for beginners or anyone who wants to project their stereo slides.  The biggest advantage is that they eliminate rotational mounting errors (one film chip is rotated with respect to the other, a major problem in stereo projection).
I have even written a series of Tutorials, which I have for sale in a pdf file or DVD, in my ebay store.
Now, I said that I use RBT mounts for my best slides and the ones I project.  That's because I shoot a few thousand stereo slides a year.  If I used RBT mounts for all of them, I would be in the poorhouse by now!  But I know of many beginners or less prolific stereo shooters who use RBT mounts for all their slides, taking advantage of the convenience and precision of these mounts.  The RBT mounts have become very popular with time.  Quite a few of our stereo club members now use these.
If you are a beginner, I recommend trying these mounts, and also the
slip-in mounts
and
heat-seal mounts
.  The best way to do this is to get my
stereo slide sampler
(offered for sale in another auction) which contains samples of all these mounts. This way you can try all the mounts and see what you like for a larger order.  Also, do not forget the
archival stereo slide storage pages
!
I recommend storing these slides in the Stereo Slide Pages, offered for sale in my ebay store.
I welcome bids outside of the USA!
