The TDC 116 stereo slide projector was made to show 3D slides
in the "Realist" format. This was a 3D slide format that started
with the Stereo Realist camera that was introduced in 1947.
They were very popular in the early 1950's and there are still
thousands of them available and they still work. I have about a
dozen of these old cameras and I love them. They can be bought
on eBay for about $150.

You can see a TDC 116 3D projector at this eBay auction:

I don't know where you can buy the book "Amazing 3-D" except that
it sometimes shows up on eBay. To learn more about stereoscopic
photography follow the links at my web sites:
