Realist Electric Stereo Viewer Model 2062 (Green button), with Box/Instructions

Description

Realist Electric Stereo Slide Viewer Model 2062
I got into stereography in 1979 and have bought, sold, and traded a lot of stereo gear since then.  I never considered myself a collector, but I did acquire certain items from time to time that I thought were unusually nice or somewhat rare.
Here is a Realist Model 2062 viewer that is in very fine condition both operationally and cosmetically.  It is complete in its box as it was originally sold and includes the instruction pamphlet that came with it (see photo).  Please examine all the photos, as they represent part of the description of the viewer.
Model 2062, known as the “green button” viewer, can be lighted by two D-cell batteries (DC), or it can be lighted by an adjustable incandescent lamp that works off a rheostat (AC).  Both the 2062 and the “red button” viewers (2061) have one thing in common:  superb achromatic lenses.  This viewer still has an original 6s6 80-volt, 6-watt lamp that is working well and that provides a beautiful “warm” light with plenty of illumination.  Replacement bulbs for the rheostat lighting are available from DrT.  I have fitted the battery-operated light with a modern 3-volt LED bulb, which furnishes a beautiful illumination that, in my opinion, produces a color temperature that more closely resembles that of daylight than that of the incandescent bulbs.  The new LED provides lighting that appears more accurate to the original scene, but the incandescent bulbs intensify the reds and greens, and the illumination sometimes adds great beauty and depth to a scene.  You be the judge.  You have a choice with this viewer.  The focusing and interocular controls work fine.  The lenses are clean, clear, and incredibly sharp.
With this viewer, the batteries should be installed the way they are indicated inside the case.  The LED works, in this case, with the batteries installed as shown.   The viewer will ship without batteries.
If you have any question about this viewer, please feel free to contact me.  Also, please note that I only ship to verified eBay addresses within the United States.  That means no foreign sales.  eBay’s standard return policy applies.
Thanks for having a look.
