Does anyone know what happened to Arion Corportation, the makers of the fade/dissolve units? I was thinking of upgrading my (gasp!) slide show equipment to their Show Wizard system and when I went to their webpage, it was gone. All phone lines are disconnected too and an internet search proved futile.

It wouldn't surprise me if they faded away, but I don't know. I believe they manufactured dissolves under for Kodak as well as selling under the Arion brand. Maybe when Kodak stopped mamking projectors Arion lost too much business to keep going. I have one of their basic units that has worked like a champ for over 10 years.

Rod,
Hi I actually have one of the units that is collecting way too much dust. I'm on the road right now in Cannon Beach and headed south along the coast with your book in hand. I won't get back to New Mexico until about the 16th. If your interested in a used (hardly at all) unit let me know.
