It's actually nuts how cool this thing is. The stereoscopic 3D is really impressive, and a lot of the reels based on cartoons and movies have some exclusive art not found anywhere else. Any collectors? What's the rarest or weirdest reels out there?
I dont have one of these but I'm very much a fan of Stereoscope. Love me 3D comics. Love me 3DS. Love me 3D Blu-rays.
I had one that I absolutely loved with lots of disney and looney toon themed slides. But I accidently left it at my grandmothers and one of my cousins stole it before I came to see her again.

Fun fact: the only video games-related View-Master reel set seems to be a Super Mario Bros one (with both, cartoon and live action images, which is amazing).Really weird there never was any other video games one unless I can't find it
I have a Viewmaster stowed away in a plastic tub someplace. The rarest/weirdest reels probably would be the adult/porno reels. I've stumbled across a listing for some once a long time ago, but I haven't really looked for Viewmaster reels since then.
>>11655209I have one of the original models for these where it was marketed to adults as well.
>>11655549>Porno on a view masterNow you have my attention.
Many pics on these reels are one-offs, if they all get destroyed it will be lost media unless someone make good scans. How do you even scan these?
>>11656659Just use a regular scanner. There were actually flatbed scanners for a while that had slots for 35mm slides. But yeah, just a scanner at a very high dpi would be enough.
I was just indulging in some nostalgia 3D viewmaster gazing while suddenly I see the sillouhette of an ant walking over the picture. It was kind of terrifying. The actual bug is probably very small but it looked bigger on the View-Master lens.Gotta wash those old reels. Or maybe the bug was on the inside of the visor. I shaked the viewmaster just in case. Gotta clean it too. Haven't used it in decades
