Here's a guy who built his own Opaque Projector!

I stopped off at a store called Hobby Lobby, it's kinda like a Michael's store, lots of crafts. Anyway, I've been wanting a projector to do some murals with and asked the clerk. He didn't think they had any so he asked the manager, he found a bunch.

There were probably 5 different types and the one I really liked was a French made one that had a copy area of 7 by 11 inches. Meaning I could put a photo or something of that size in it and it would be projected onto what ever I wanted to reproduce it on.

The machine was discounted to $30!!!

I should have bought it, but I hesitated and left. I thought about it all night and when I returned the next day, the price was changed to something over $100!!!

I guess they thought there was some sort of demand for them after they had to look them up for me.

You wait, you lose...
