    Description

    A nice stereo viewer for the Stereo Enthusiast and Collector
    Realist HANDI stereo slide VIEWER
    MODEL ST 63A - in near new condition -
    with achromatic lenses
    - slight warping
    This is the
    most compact stereo slide viewer
    made by Stereo Realist (David White Company).  it is called the Handi-Viewer and the official number is ST 63A.   Part of the compact size is due to the fact that it uses a pair of C size batteries, instead of the D size used in other viewers.  The small size makes it ideal for carrying around, in trips, etc
    This is an
    illuminated viewer
    , it is fitted with a standard bulb and it has
    achromatic lenses
    .  Note: Not all of these viewers have achromatic lenses. The majority does NOT have achromatic lenses. This one is a rare exception.
    The only drawback of these viewers is that they are not as robust mechanically, as say the Red Button viewer.  There is no light switch but
    the light comes on when the slide is pressed down
    .  While the slide is pressed down, it can rock a bit and you have to adjust it as you press it to align the two images.
    There is no interocular adjustment, only focusing adjustment (large red knob at top). I would say that this viewer is perfect but there is
    a bit of warping
    of the body and the top does not fit the bottom well, there is a small gap. The viewer works fine though.
    To summarize, the strong points of this viewer are:
    Compact
    light-weight design.
    I
    nternal illumination
    with C size batteries
    Focusing
    adjustment
    Automatic illumination
    (Light comes on when slide is inserted and pushed down)
    Attractive
    design (I personally think it is a quite attractive viewer - do you agree?)
    Achromatic lenses
    (some variations of this viewer have single element lenses)
