Stereo Viewer was battery tested – clean lenses and very good viewing – has extra (untested) bulb. Viewer takes “D” cell batteries – Not included. Camera case very nice and clean – has one end of side strap separated. Box has handling & storage wear. Please Note - I do not know if all of the original internal box partitions are still present. CAMERA HISTORY & FUNCTION - The Linex is a short-lived stereo camera introduced circa 1953 by the Linex Corporation, a subsidiary of the Lionel Corporation — a company far better known as manufacturer of model railroad sets. The Linex is stoutly built, primarily of cast metal, and has rather limited controls. There is a single "snapshot" shutter speed; and the twin achromat lenses are fixed focus, with 6 feet as the closest recommended subject distance. Exposure may be adjusted between "normal" and "bright" conditions using a front selector lever, which switches the lens aperture between roughly f/6 and f/8. The Linex was supplied new as a complete kit which included a battery-operated stereo viewer, a plaid carrying case, and, a starter cartridge of film in a mailer box to return it for processing. It makes stereo negatives that measure 16 x 20 mm and uses a specially designed cartridge with 8 exposures (not included). PHOTOGRAPHS – The stereo images appear to primarily be from early to mid-1950s. Basically family oriented images with some flowers and other places.
