    So, who had one?

    Clicky

    Used to love mine, it was my mam's from when she was young.

    Had some cool science ones, and nature.

    Also some Dukes of Hazzard and He-Man.

    The handle broke though :(

    I loved my Viewmaster! I had a great collection of slides for it - ET, several Doctor Who ones, Rentaghost, Metal Mickey, The Amazing Adventures of Morph, Bagpuss and loads of others.

    I snapped the black lever on mine eventually too :(

    I had muppet, fraggle rock and terrahawks slides. Sadly we took it apart to see if we could make it into binoculars once, it didn't work and it was never the same once we tried to put it back together! :(

    I had one of these with some transformer slides. Did you buy the slides separately? I can't remember..

    If I remember correctly, it came with a selection of slides and you could buy others. I think I might have got one or two sets free with something as well at some stage.

    Funny how they would seem so basic now, but there was something a bit magical about them when you were really small.

    Holy sh*t! I've been racking my brains for over 30 mins trying to think of the name of these things for an Excel quiz (I'll post a separate thread in this forum in a minute) :D

    Yep, I had one, the wheel I got with it was really poor, sunsets, flowers etc but then I saved some pocket money and got an A-team one and a Jaws one :) those were the days.
