Ken -

I can't use the Pakon mounts.  They get jammed in the Nikon SF-200 slide 
feeder for my scanner.  I'm mounting everything in the thicker Gepe and Wes 
mounts.  Both of them make an automatic mounter but they are beyond my 
budget.  I used to hire my kids to mount slides but they've all left home!
