It's my understanding that the Kodak Carousel models were intended for home use and not quite as rugged as the Ektagraphic models. Ektagraphics were for "professional" use and had a few more capabilities, as well. Both use same lenses - the zoom lenses are more flexible, but costlier. Lamps are still available, probably around $10. A number of years ago I loaded up on used carousel trays from the U of U for about $2 each. New I think they're $18-$20.

Kim & Debbie, I am looking at a Kodak Carousel 600 slide projector with an Ektanar f:3.5 lens of 4-inch focal length. I think it works, will fire it up (hmm, perhaps a poor choice of words) this weekend and let you know (need to find the cord but I think I know where it is, same as the blender cord;) IIRC, the two trays of slides I see with it are, 1: old astro stuff dating to the '70's, and the other is R/C. Wonder if they still make bulbs for these? I used to show slides at SLAS meetings, ward houses, & schools with this circa 1974-75-ish. --- Kim Hyatt <kimharch@msn.com<mailto:kimharch@msn.com>> wrote:
Check camera shops and ebay for a used Kodak Ektagraphic (Carousel type) projector. Look for the old two-tone gray and black models - they're partly metal and more durable than the newer all plastic models.
