Hi everyone, this was found during a clear out, does anyone on here remember these? I have taken a look at google, but can't find a date of when it was manufactured, or if it is worth anything? Also can you tell me what cameras were used to take the slides it shows?

From the pic on the box it looks like it uses pics from a disc camera.
They were not very popular in the early/mid 80's.
About 1/4 size frames (if not smaller) of 35mm so you can guess how bad the quality was.

Doubt if you could buy the film and get them developed today.
Probably worth very little to nothing..

That would be a 3-D disk and viewer. He appears to have a 2-D projector version meaning the disk will hold 14 images.
 
That's really really posh...I only had the red version...

But the great thing about all the Viewmaster stuff was complete forward and backward compatibility for the source material. Even showing the 3D disks on the 2D projector would work - there would just be 2 sets of 7 images.
