Digital camera Review: Did not work
Summary: 2 Stars
I received the Pana-Vue #1, made sure the batteries were inserted correctly, then put in a slide. Nothing. Put the batteries in another device to make sure the batteries were okay. Put the bulb in a flashlight to make sure the bulb was okay. Everything checked out, but I could not get this thing to work. Then I went to work trying to figure out how this slide viewer got its juice. I was able to discern that a connection was not being made and I bent one of the copper connectors so the existing gap was no longer there. I got it working but, really, this is a VERY poorly made product and the electrical design looks like something out of the early days of electricity. Now that I have it working, the image of the slides is slightly distorted and not bright enough. Don't waste your money.Digital camera Review: Functional but Flimsy
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a functional but flimsy slide viewer. It does the job, however, vast improvements could be made at little cost. The incandescent bult should be replaced with a high intensity, white LED. Besides using less current, the LED would virtually last forever. In addition, the bi-metal switch that turns on the light is unreliable. The light came on a couple of times by itself, just due to setting the viewer down. A hermetically sealed, momentary contact switch would solve this problem.Digital camera Review: Good simple slide viewer
Summary: 4 Stars
I needed a slide viewer to go through hundreds of my parents' slides. This is a simple viewer but did the job.Digital camera Review: Good value
Summary: 5 Stars
I came across some 40+ year old slides and wanted an inexpensive viewer to go through them. This Pana-Vue viewer was inexpensive but it does the job -- low tech is sometimes the best option!
