Sylvania TV Slide viewer

I have one of these sitting. It uses a D16 hybrid chassis, great performer. Non-remote. Good 25CP22

Found on CL about 4 years ago, in a mold-infested garage.

Fascinating. I own a Sylvania Slide Theater too and mine is the higher tube count D-13 Chassis (I believe it's a D-12 modified to drive the Slide Scanning CRT and support the optical system).
Interesting that it lasted long enough to have been used on 2 different years of TV chassis.

I used to own a TV only D-16 and know the difference well.

A note: In 1970, to the beginnings of decent digital cameras of 8 megapixels and higher and good lenses, transparency aka Slide film was a format in wide use for projection. Unlike Polavision (which got released about the time decent VHS and Beta video cameras and recorders did.

[Telecolor 3007]

'Polavision' what that 8 m.m. movie that got almost instant processing (developing), but was to opaque and so the image wasn't very good. And the film itself was very short?
Slide was the standard up to the '90's.

I actually confirmed mine is a D-13 chassis, thus the model may not have lasted. My dad used a slide projector and Da-lite screen, such advanced camera scrutinizers likely passed on this gimmick.
Model is CFNP22. I also have not delved into it yet, it sits behind my scrap pile in the garage, which is finally being cashed in .
