I only saw one. The yoke was bad for the spot scanner and it was scrapped.

The 1.33:1 TV screen, plus nominal overscan of probably 10% minimum, cut off a lot of a 1.5:1 35mm slide. trying to use a vertically oriented slide was even worse. At the time, no one would have accepted black bars at the top and bottom, since that would usually prompt TV owners to make a service call, thinking their picture had shrunk. No one wanted those kinds of calls within the warrantee period. So, the user saw a lot less of the slide than when projecting them the normal way.
