In trying to find a handheld lightweight projector, the use of a flashlight Pordell seemed like the way to go, the hard part was to consider the size of the slide to convey the meaning of the visual image to correlate to the poem. The light source is a LED shop light from Wallymart and takes 3 AA batteries. The condenser is from the Simmons Omega B22 negative enlarger with the two lenses convexity facing each other and the separator is a cut down corrugated aluminum piece from a Simmons Omega D2 enlarger. Added some chaffing rubber material that I generally use for the rim of my stereopticons.
Then cut down some threaded rods to get the right size for coupling/ sandwiching the condenser lens housings between the workshop lights to the wooden framed magic lantern slides.
PVC piping coupler was used for the lens mount and PVC pipe for the lens barrel. The lens object from the Simmons Omega B22 is the supplemental condenser lens. The magic lantern wooded frame was removed from the condenser and a aluminum metal duct-work tape was used to adhere the PVC lens mount and then placed back and tightened. The PVC lens barrel used the same aluminum tape to adhere the objective lens.
