Railfan Technology > Good used slide projectorsDate: 10/05/24 15:16 Good used slide projectors Author: Train611 Hi.
Would anyone be able to offer their thoughts on the purchase of a good used slide projector? Thank you. 611 Posted from iPhone Date: 10/05/24 15:27 Re: Good used slide projectors Author: dan plentiful and cheap these days
Date: 10/05/24 20:17 Re: Good used slide projectors Author: walstib Funny this should come up now. My slide projector and I were invited to a slide show yesterday. We went.
I was boasting how happy I’ve been with the used Kodak carousel projector I bought used in 2011. I bought it at a camera store (I know, vanishing breed.) I’m not sure where you are located, but I would first call a real camera store and chat them up. If nothing else, try Samy’s on Fairfax in Los Angeles, or Glazer’s in Seattle. I would be leery of a private-party sale, but you never know. Please let us know how you make out.

ton of bulbs here https://denver.craigslist.org/pho/d/colorado-springs-lot-of-vintage-slide/7786329525.html lot of 6 projectors near the coloroado midland roundhouse all tested it says 165$ haven't even checked FB, next door, amazon, etsy, ebay you can look in freestuff categories and goodwill buy any projector for a bulb price, and realize you may have to get another, or look for bulbs Date: 10/05/24 21:38 Re: Good used slide projectors Author: walstib I scored a couple of replacement bulbs last week for my carousel on Amazon. Two bulbs were just under $20.

They had half a dozen Kodak carosel projectors for sale! I bought one for $8.00.....it was in its original box and was still in the shrink-wrap plastic from the factory!

Location BC Canada. Thanks for the tips and suggestions. 611 Date: 10/09/24 06:16 Re: Good used slide projectors Author: march_hare I own both Ektagraphic and conventional Carousel projectors. Strongly recommend the Ektagraphic models. They were intended for professional use, and it shows.

I looked at Ebay just now and there are a number of listings for new EXR bulbs so try browsing there. I bought a dozen new EXR bulbs a couple of years ago for my Ektagraphic projector. I'm 68 years old so that might be a lifetime supply lol.
