This was originally done two weeks ago when I made this video. It took me two weeks to complete, so I decided to put this up. Here is my demonstration of my Argus 500 slide projector that I've got at Goodwill 2 weeks ago. This is a model "V" edition, because there were a few variations of this model. The first one must be a better one, the second version also had a notch on the right side, and finally, a updated version with Electromatic and it had a metal case instead of leather. It works perfectly without any problems, except the leather for the cover was kinda beat up, but this is way better than the Kodak Carousel 650 slide projector that I got rid of, because it was not working anymore after putting a celluloid link in place and it was not properly well. In addition, I've got a slide tray which I've just acquired off of Amazon as well as slide mounts and two educational filmstrips that I've just acquired off of eBay. I tried by using one frame with a slide mount and it won't fit, but I did used four pieces of paper and Scotch tape and it was a failure. So I tried to use it with two frames. I've did modified it from taking an educational filmstrip and put it in a slide mount and show it with two frames, just like pages from a book, and it did. The first educational short for this demonstration featuring Scooby-Doo along with Velma and Shaggy where she was talking about a disease called acne. I had it since I was a youngster when I had lots of pimples which cause an infection. This filmstrip was from 1980 and it was made by Hanna-Barbera's educational division. They put out a series of educational filmstrips featuring all of your favorite HB characters including the cast from "The Flintstones", "The Jetsons", "Yogi Bear", "Jabberjaw" and many more. The presentation also featured the original cast from the cartoon series which was based on "Scooby-Doo". The three characters appeared were Velma, Shaggy and Scooby. Fred and Daphne are not on the filmstrip, but his nephew Scrappy was not one of them, sorry! The tape also featured music by the legendary Hoyt Curtin , he was a music director for all of HB cartoons back in the 1960's, 1970's and the 1980's including lots of underscores and cues from various cartoons including the one you hear on this tape. And also, the voice of Shaggy as you can hear on this tape was done by the late Casey Kasem. He was the voice actor who did Shaggy for all of the series, as well as a host of his radio show called "American Top 40" for many years back in the 1970's and 1980's. I hope you all enjoy this demonstration of my Argus 500 slide projector from the early 1960's.
