Viewmaster

Trying to win one on ebay at the moment. Hoping to bring a bit of nostalgia back into my life.

Did anyone else have one. Can't remember what reels I had though.

For those who don't have a clue what I am on about

Oh my goodness...LOVED the Viewmaster! I had loads of those reels - Batman (the old TV show with Adam West), Scooby Doo, the Bionic Woman, and a science-y one with a load of bugs and birds on it. Even had the Viewmaster projector - you could put the reels in and show it on the wall! My daughter's got one but she doesn't use it much. Kids aren't as impressed by Viewmasters now that there's Wii and Nintendo DS to mess with. Rolling Eyes

Good grief I'd forgotten all about those!

I must admit to buying a spirograph on eBay a while back. Happy memories...

I had one of those. Only had a few discs and my favourite was one of the moon landings in 1969.

Wow, yeah! I only had a few slide thingies as well. There was a set of various European cities and another of Herbie the beetle from those Disney films. Ha - only just dawned on me, that's probably where an old VW obsession comes from.
