If you would like to get your 6X9 trannies out where folks can appreciate them, try this.

- an acrylic baseball card holder
- a fresnel lens
- a piece of window frosting film
- an LED nightlight
- a mounting frame made from aluminum sheet (about .025 thick)
- Devcon Plastic Welder epoxy

Everything except the aluminum and the transparency was bought from that company that uses USPS as their delivery service (Wait, what? Isn't that what they do?). I didn't feel right about posting the links, but it's all easy to find. A note on the fresnel lens... The credit card sized ones are a bit small. That may work, but I got them a bit oversized (around 5x7) and cut it down to size.

I forgot... (4) 6-32 x 1/2 countersunk machine screws with nuts and washers.

I cut the photocell out of the nightlight so it would stay on all the time. There is a slide switch that can turn it off or dim it.

That looks quite nice. I dont see any problems posting links to help people find the objects needed to accomplish this.

I bet 4 x 5 would look even better.
