Hmm, I had something similar as a child, but mine looked more like this: http://www.thisoldtoy.com/new-images/images-ok/400-499/fp460-whiteviewer-LB-B.jpg but in blue. I remember having a Pluto cartoon, Bone Trouble. I must have watched that cartoon a thousand times!

I had that too Stuart - the Walt Disney Movie Viewer to be precise. Here's one currently on Ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WALT-DISNEY-MOVIE-VIEWER-WITH-MICKEYS-TRAILER_W0QQitemZ190309323895QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Toys_VintageToys_RL?hash=item2c4f51d477&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparm s=72%3A2109%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

I had Lonesome Ghosts among others and played it to death until the film came off the spool inside the cassette. A common problem and not easily fixable as I recall!

Best wishes,

Tiv

The player I admired, (and originally had) was the "PocketFlix" brand Super 8 viewer, made by Ideal toys.

The reason why is ALL the others took lots of frames out so that the viewer ran at approx. 12 frames per second, but the image was somewhat choppy.

The PocketFlix films were at the full 24 fps, and if you wanted to, you could take out the film, put it on a reel, (there was approximately one minute of footage in the cartridges), they could watch these little films at 18 or more fps and it would look great!

That's nice to hear Osi and i have seen it on google thanks.
Do you know which cassettes i want?I think everyone on the world knows the Viewmaster,the Cinemaster was his brother and for me a succes i love it so much! [Wink]
I have a new one found on ebay,with a cassette from Pinocchio and Peter Pan,it is for me very sentimental.
I lost my one as child and i was at that time very sad about it.
That's why i look especially for this one,but it's nice to see that everyone has experience with difficult children viewers. [Smile]
