I meant to post about these-there was an ad in Life magazine that described how it would scan in the slide and display it on the crt. Was this a flying spot scanner, or a color video camera assembly doing the slide scanning job?

Having taken quite a few Kodachrome slides, I can tell you that nothing will do them justice like a slide show will. With a good projector, it feels like you can just step into the image. Somehow, I don't think the Sylvania could quite do that.

FWIW, in the area of home flying spot scanners, Kodak made a movie film scanner around the same period that would transfer 8mm and super 8 film to video in real time. In the PAL universe, Normende also made a similar unit. Neither sold very well.
