Thank you all.
Combined information suggests that plastic mounts are available in UK,
US, Australia, Germany. Seems like a strange Indian phenomenon then. I
guess that mostly pros used slides around these parts. Now as most of
them shifted to digital, the market does not find it viable to cater
to the remaining few. Hence the vanishing act.
Funny thing is I cannot find any Indian manufacturer for plastic slide
mounts either. The last box I bought here was Reflecta, made in EU.
Simon has made me a great offer. If I can arrange for the shipping,
his stock will tide me over while I continue my search.
I have also asked a friend who is in China, to look for mounts there.
It seems like he had great difficulty in making them understand what
is a slide, let alone a slide mount. One person who seems to have got
the idea gave a response "Hmmm, it is very historic….".
Cheers.
Warm regards to all.
Arnab.
