Throughout the 1960s, Chad Valley produced several 'Show∙A∙Slide' and 'Give∙A∙Show' projectors, either based around one specific Anderson series, or containing a variety of slides from different series.

JOE 90 GIVE∙A∙SHOW PROJECTOR © 1968 Century 21 Merchandising Joe 90 appeared as a projector set in its own right, in box containing sixteen seven-frame slides based on thirteen episodes from the series. |

The inside of the lid could be used as a projection screen, although the box insert did claim that it "projects full colour pictures up to 5 feet square". Who needs a 4K OLED telly anyway? Used three U2 1.5V flashlight batteries (now known as 'D' type) which would leak and render the projector inoperable if left inside for any length of time. One contact is almost inaccessible at the far end of the projector, so if that became contaminated with battery acid you might as well forget it and wait for those clever little boffins at the Victor Company of Japan to invent the Video Home System cassette. No. G318R |

Each 10½" x 1 3/4" slide (266mm x 44mm) had seven frames of colour hand-drawn artwork.

| GIVE∙A∙SHOW PROJECTOR SLIDES © 1968 Century 21 Merchandising If you didn't want to buy a whole new projector, Joe 90 slides were available to buy separately. The set pictured opposite comes shrink-wrapped on a flat card, and features slides 293-296. We've also seen a set featuring slides 281-284, so presumably you could get the whole series across four sets. Made and printed in England. |
