:shock: Holy cow, they are asking an arm and a leg! Back in 2000 I purchased and donated one of those to Doc. It was probably out of the same warehouse.

If that were the double parallax it would be worth some money. If I recall the system used one double parallax and 3 or 4 single parallax. Never seen one opened up like that-those are some cool photos. I know they are very heavy to lift. Mine was in the same wood crate and wrapped in preservative paper. It was still a bit oily. I will try to post some pictures later. The cardboard box surrounding the crate had a war bonds emblem on it.
Thanks for posting that. It appears that B-29 parts are outperforming any other investments. Ahh to go back in time!
Gotta Love E-Pay! But will it sell, I thought I had a gold mine once, the market said otherwise.
But that is very cool, I love the "guts" pictures. Funny to think all that cool stuff was build on the same site I once worked.
