DEAR SUN SPOTS: I’m looking for someone who repairs slide projectors. I have a Sawyer’s Rotomatic 2 by 2 slide projector that needs work on the changing arm. Thank you. — Karl, Greene

ANSWER: Sun Spots does not know of anyone, but perhaps someone will write in. If no one responds, Sun Spots has an old slide projector you can have and she suspects other readers may as well.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Thanks for the great information I’ve gleaned from your column. I’ve benefited from many of your tips.

I have recently inherited about 100 records. I have no room for them, so I’d like to donate them to someone who collects and/or appreciates the music produced in the 1960s and ’70s. It’s a great collection of symphonies, classical, operas, scores from Broadway musicals, western, jazz and pop music, from Como to Streisand and everyone in between.

For anyone who is interested, please call and leave me a message and I’ll get back to you. — No Name, 784-7673

ANSWER: If you don’t get any takers, you might try selling them to the businesses listed in the previous answer.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I’m trying to find the number for a seamstress you had mentioned in Sunspots previously. I thought I could find it in the online archives but I can’t seem to locate it. I believe the name of the business was Mainely Sewing and located in Auburn. Thanks for your help! — Laurie, [email protected]
