Just an idea.

Put me down for 100. -Linda

Two of the three were not interested in the narrow profit margin.

There seems to be a little confusion here, so let me put it out again:

The sleeves I have manufactured will fit BOTH Spicer mounts (AKA RMM
mounts) or 3DWorld SS mounts (the plastic ones with "Sam Smith"
written on them). There purpose is to protect the image WHILE VIEWING,
as they are optically clear. They also help hold the mounts closed,
eliminating the need for tape.

They are NOT for Q-Vue mounts or the plastic mounts that 3DWorld's
stock images come in. The reason is that Q-Vue stock is too flimsy,
and the old-style plastic mounts too thick. They are only for hand
viewers, not for 3DWorld rotary viewers (with the exception of
storage). I don't know anyone who actually uses the old-style plastic
mounts anyway, as they have 65mm aperture spacing. Most sensible
viewers replace them with the revised 62mm versions which DO take the
sleeves.

I will not make one run to suite all, as this would make the sleeves
sloppy on standard mounts and defeat the purpose. If someone
specifically wants sleeves for Q-Vue or any odd size, I'd be happy to
oblige for a minimum order of 2000.

Good news: I now have enough interest to manufacture a minimum run. I
will post when they arrive.

Thanks,

Sam
