LarryC Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Wow, that's gotta be really rare. I had slides and Kodak projectors going way back then, but never heard of Kodak straight trays and projectors. I guess you're sure it's not another brand like Sawyer? Can't help, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I don't know if this link is current, but if you're looking for Kodak straight 40's: http://www.wolfes.com/photo/projectors/trays/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I have two carousels and a few of the round trays that go with them (hence the name 'carousel'). I have a Leica 2 1/4 projector, that uses straight trays, and want to get some trays for it that will hold 35mm as well. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I think I know what you're talking about. The big change was to the Kodak plastic Carrousel (sp) round magazine. It was advertised as "dependable as gravity." The slides would drop down into the projector Maybe mid 1960s But before that there was a projector made by Scott? It used a magazine for slides a bit over 2" x 2" x 10" overall which held about 36 slides. That was typical roll of Kodachrome. In some instances the cardboard frame were put in a sheetmetal frames. The magazine was positioned at the side of the projector structure and a manually operated mechanism would push them into light source and lense system. Then eject them back and advance the magazine. It was cranky and would jam. The intricacy of the mechanism reminded me of a primitive repeater rifle. If this is what you're talking about I'll dig around.

LarryC Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Bruce, do you have medium-format slides? I dreamed of that once but never went that route. They must be impressive! Not coming to the Pilgrimage this year? Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJkizak Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Rollie used to make a 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 projector with zoom lens/500 watt bulb with heat sink that took straight 35mm and 2 1/4 trays. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Bruce, do you have medium-format slides? I dreamed of that once but never went that route. They must be impressive! Not coming to the Pilgrimage this year? Larry Unfortunately, I can't make it to the pilgrimage. My youngest son, who attended with me last year, is leaving with the Valparaiso University Orchestra (he is principle trumpet), headed to Vienna and other points. That has taken most of the money for the year, and I still plan on meeting my girlfriend in Ireland in August.I have some medium format slides, but they aren't mine. The projector was one the school was getting rid of. They aren't too interested in the old technology. I ma going to check and see what other slides they may still have hiding around the place. I just couldn't pass up the Leica glass. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
