Hi Carol-- Happy New Year.. Hope you and Carl had a great Christmas. Have a question for you regarding slides.. What size are your slide carousels ? 80 or 140 quantity ??
I have a bunch of slides that still need to be put in carousels for projecting and I was going to hunt for some on Ebay.. The 140 size that is.. However, my video film lab in Seattle gave me a heck of a good price on the "80" size. They said that 80 is better because the plastic wall thickness between each slide is thicker and won't break over time from usage as the thinner walled 140-types. What do you think may I ask ??
By the way, I only paid about $ 27.00 for a huge case of 80-type carousels !! Great, huh?
And I think they have more, too. They look NEW.
