A standard repair on a Kodak Carousel Projector runs around $125 plus you need to figure around another $50 for postage to and from the service center. If they have not been replaced, they will need replaced. These projectors have plastic parts in them that have gotten old, brittle and break even without use. If the seller is not willing to give you at least a 90-day guarantee, then you need to figure that you are going to have to have it serviced. We don’t recommend buying one that you don’t get at least a 90-day guarantee. Most all Kodak carousel slide projectors are good but if you are in the market for one, why not be picky? Kodak is the ONLY brand we would recommend looking at as they are the only ones that you can still get parts for. Things to consider when buying a used carousel slide projector. The Medalist AF model is essentially the same as the 4600, the Medalist I is essentially the same as the 5200 and the Medalist II is essentially the same as the 5600. People were burning themselves when removing the module.
Carousel projector series#
If the door for the lamp module stays attached to the projector when the module is removed, the lamp module needs to be replaced with the newer series of module.
If you get one of the earliest versions of these, they had a lamp module that was a safety/burn hazard. This makes them not as robust as the “H” series of projectors. Yes, these are newer than our first choice, but their main cases/housing are made of plastic. The 500-watt lamp took a lot more air to cool it, so the fan had to run faster, therefore “H” stands for “hush” as these projectors with the 300-watt lamps are quieter due to less fan noise. This series of projectors use the 300-watt ELH lamp instead of the predecessor (Non “H”) using the 500-watt DEK lamp. Please note that the model number MUST have an “H” in it. These also use the ELH lamp that is readily available and not too expensive. These projectors will hold up longer, as their housing/case is metal. Our first choice would be either the 750H, 760H, 850H or 860H ( not the “Custom” models). Projectors that we do recommend looking at The photo(s) of the projector here is of a typical rebuilt projector, so the photo may or may not be of the exact projector and or lens that we ship to you. If you have a deep room and need to place the projector in the back of the room projecting onto a screen in front of the room, you might want to consider a zoom lens. The zoom lens will allow you to make the image smaller. In most cases the standard lens will work for most people. We offer our projectors with a standard lens or zoom lens. We also include an extra, brand new projection lamp. Slide trays are sold separately and we only recommend using the 80 slide trays (not the 140s).
