That is where I got my slide projectors. Got to hunt for them though.

Yes, there are more carousels than there are projectors.

The Kodak Carousels have a fatal flaw—two plastic pieces in the automatic forward/reverse assemblies that actually become brittle over time and disintegrate.

There is a kit to fix it, but you have to take apart the entire unit to replace them.

So, the Carousel 750 I bought for a whole $6 in its original box was about 40 years old and worked perfectly.

For about 300 slides—then the automatic advance stopped working, and I knew it had succumbed.

So I just advance the carousel manually by hans. Takes a little co-ordination.

The projector was practically brand new, so I’ll keep it and look for another one.
