As both research for The Future is Still Silver and Black and just general enthusiasm for the subject, I’ve become a collector of unique and interesting Museum of Science and Industry Chicago merchandise so I bought a trio of MSI View Master reels off eBay. Now I didn’t have a View Master to look at them with, but since eBay now thought I had a deep and enduring love of vintage View Master reels, their algorithm was kind enough to put one they thought I’d like in front of my eyes.
Well, they were right.
They got my fuckin’ number. I did end up getting a pretty good offer from the seller, but they were also clear that while the projector did turn on and light up, the lever was broken.
But perhaps not irreparably!
