I bought one recently. It is a gem. It takes Carousel trays and accessories, including the stack loader. It comes with a 90mm f/2.5 curved field lens, which, when used with cardboard- mounted slides, gives images that are normally sharp corner to corner. The image is amazingly bright and very evenly illuminated. The colors do not have the green cast associated with many projectors, because there is no heat absorbing filter between the lamp and the lens. Nevertheless the slides stay cool enough that they don't pop. Considering that a top-of-the-line Carousel projector will set you back about $260, with lens, this machine is a bargain.
