Railfan Technology > Kodak Carousel projector service?Date: 11/28/21 10:34 Kodak Carousel projector service? Author: dmaffei Anyone know of a good place to service and repair these old dinosaurs? Call me old school, but yes I still enjoy an old fashioned slide show? SF Bay Area preferably, Thanks
Dave Date: 11/29/21 12:56 Re: Kodak Carousel projector service? Author: Rathole It might be easier to buy on one Ebay to replace it. I bought three Kodak Ektagraphic IIIA projectors on Ebay a couple of years ago to keep as spares. All three were in near mint condition and in the $75-100 range each before shipping. I just checked and there are a number of them listed there now.

I ended up taking it to a local shop that has a tech on staff. See what he says. If he can service and replace the advance part that breaks on all these, I may do it. If you YouTube carousel repair, you'll see the common slide advance failure on these.

If the same part, or small number of parts, commonly break(s) somebody has likely created a file for a 3D printer to make the needed part(s).
