viewmaster supershow projector

08/27/2013

this is a tyco viewmaster projector supershow from 1992 ~

if you were willing to give up the 3d feature, you could turn off the lights & shine viewmaster images onto the wall instead ~

this projector is battery operated (it requires 2 D batteries) ~

perfect for slumber parties ~

you'll have to provide your own sound if you want it, as my son & i did in this youtube ~

lol.. yeah, more dinosaurs ~

more tomorrow!

update ~

this projector uses a small flashlight bulb as shown, the original one is marked philips krypton pr102 2.4 vo 7a hong kong 13e ~

krofftkon

i had a blast yesterday watching a live stream on insta of krofftkon, which is happening all weekend at the orinda theater in northern california ~

click the link to see marty krofft's grandson, griffin, taking the video :) ~

& yeah, that's me there with weird comments & a question for marty ~

i had to ask if he knew art clokey? nope ~

& in comments later with sid krofft who has liked my comments in the past, i was able to satisfy my curiosity about an old rumor from toxic's childhood, that the opening scene with the creepy boat as the hr pufnstuff theme plays was filmed up at a spot she knew & loved, big bear lake, ca? yes! that's true & he said it was a beautiful day :) ~

if you're as big a fan of the old krofft shows as i am you should click the links in this post to a bunch of posts i've done in the past ~

meanwhile enjoy these cool collectibles i've just added to my toyroom including pufnstuff, sigmund & the sea monsters, electra woman & dynagirl, lidsville & toxic's favorite land of the lost pins, magnet & Stickers!! i've always said witchiepoo was my earliest fashion influence! ;) ~

Sleestak! Avoid Eye Contact! i have to say my favorite moment at krofftkon was when will & holly sing the show theme & even remembered to add grumpy the dinosaur at the end! made my day!! :D ~

back to cd sundays next week..
