Sourcing Material for Backlighting Old B/W Glass slides (Light Display).

Chauncey Gardner · 2024-02-22 18:13:23

Hi folks. I will be getting some old glass advertising cinema slides used by a film projectionist. (Thin glass about 12cm x 12cm). I have an idea of installing them individually or as sets, within a frame that is back lit by neon lighting. Any ideas where I could source the materials to frame and back light the slides?…

PS: This type of thing. But probably not in wood, prefer thin aliminium. This one is handmade, so I'd guess the back-lit frames would have to be custom made.
Thanks
