Kodak Carousel Repair Kit Video

Kodak Carousel Repair Kit Video

[@CL-uc5zs]

I learned a lot from the video. You have to listen and watch carefully a few times to grasp the challenge, but it is informative enough to effect the repair.

[@thefnaholes]

Thanks man. I've been searching for anything to give me any insight before I start tearing into a couple old Ektagraphics I have. I was about to just rip into a malfunctioning Carousel 850h I also have and consider it a sacrificial lamb. But you've given me a starting point so maybe I won't have to waste a good projector for the sake of education. Anyway, thanks again.

[@Rama41]

Very educational. Preparing to review old slides and plugged in the old Carousel S I hadn't used since the mid-80s . Had the same advance problem others have reported. Appreciate the video, but it looked pretty challenging. The Carousel S assembly is different as I could see only four standard screws holding it together. Thought I'd take them out just to look at the insides. Big mistake! As soon as they were removed and the bottom came off, all the lenses dropped free. They require the base to secure them. Didn't have enought hands to get it all back together. I'll settle for a slide reviewer to complete the task of converting my slides to digital. For those who want to continue the disassembly process, I recommend the Curt Fargo PDFs available online.

[@AirwalkBama]

Charles, thanks for the video. Where did you purchase the repair kit.

[@richardsweeney7603]

It would help if this showed the projector actually being taken apart -- rather than just talking about taking it apart... Not helpful to me at all.

[@ormaloon]

Thanks for posting, but not showing the dissasembly or re-assembly process is not particularly helpful and is actually more confusing.

[@charlestharp9925]

ormaloon The reason is because I couldn't break-down a working machine. As I said this is going to be very difficult but it can be done. There is no way to describe this procedure any clearer. It is going to be tough. Sorry.

[@Reed-Publications]

@@charlestharp9925 I'm trying to repair the same projector myself, but unfortunately the blue wire detached itself from one of the parts, and I have no idea where it is supposed to go. Do you have any suggestions as to where the blue wire is supposed to attach? Any help would be appreciated!

[@robertwilson1550]

I have both a 4800 and 4200 Kodak Carousel projectors. Having replaced the 4 part repair kit in my 4800 without any success. The focus continutes to push out the len beyoung its allowed positioning. It appears that i have need for the focus motor replacement. Where can these internal parts be purchased? On my 4200, it has been collecting dust in the garage. I have cleaned the exterior. Is there but am uncertain as to what parts internally shoiuld be cleaned been looking for any insights as to what elements of the 4200 Kodak Carousel projecterI hav On my 4200, it has been collecting dust in the garage. I have cleaned the exterior. Is there documentation from which i can clean and lubricate the internal workings?

[@Musicradio77Network]

I tried fixing it over the weekend, but I lost the spring during my rebuilt and I give up on my Kodak Carousel slide projector. I got rid of it the next morning, because Kodak Carousels are very difficult to repair. I'll have to find another slide projector which is not Carousel. I'll look for either a Kodak Cavalcade 520 or a Kodak 300 slide projectors from the 1950's which was the precursor to the Carousel. I have most of the remaining parts from my Kodak Carousel 650 that I'm keeping which I'll be using for parts.

[@Techfree815]

Thank you!

[@johnmeyer77]

I'm in the middle of doing this, and you didn't show any of the important parts of how to get the solenoid out, or how to replace the focus gears. It was nice of you to post this, but it really doesn't show anything.

[@charlestharp9925]

You can probably just remove the focus circuit board and see the screw that removes the solenoid. Try to remove the small piece of metal that holds the solenoid and see if you can get to the small piece that is broken.The focus gear is easily replaced with a pare of channel lock pliers. Place the gear on the shaft and squeeze it on with pliers.Good luck

[@johnmeyer77]

Yup, I got it out by removing the focus motor and then the solenoid. The gears on the auto-focus crumbled when I touched them. The solenoid part was broken. I've ordered a rebuild kit and will fix both. Thanks!

[@charlestharp9925]

This is an updated method for replacing old plastic parts.webpages.charter.net/n8nxf/Kodak%20750H%20Carousel%20Projector%20Repair%20Rev%20B.pdfGood luck - Charles

[@johnmeyer77]

Thanks! The parts have arrived and I hope to have the unit back in service tomorrow.

[@aerialvation]

John Meyer ant luck fixing your unit? Also do you have anew place to buy the parts is: focus gear and solenoid? The original eBay listing is not longer active.

[@vcaggia1481]

Great video. My 750H just died. Where did you get the repair kit from?

[@charlestharp9925]

V Caggia www.ebay.com/itm/like/400917618358?lpid=82&chn=psTry removing the solenoid and replacing the solenoid actuator by removing the screws around the auto-focus circuit board. If you can't, than you must disassemble the entire mechanism as in my video. Good luck.

[@johnnieguitar5724]

Dang. It would have been nice to see everything coming apart in order , sped up,

[@davidbrandel4128]

I agree. “I’m not going to take it apart again.” ???? What’s the point of even making this video?

[@johnnieguitar5724]

@@davidbrandel4128 It was useful, don't get me wrong. I"ll try gutting mine, listening to your instructions. I guess I'm just more of a visual learner though. Cheers!

[@acousticshadow7]

This is helpful. Do you have other videos? I want to clean an Ektagraphic E-2 and I can't find a manual online. Well, not a free one anyways.

[@charlestharp9925]

+Maria DeLuca: Sorry I can't help.

[@davepark7309]

Hi, thanks for the video. Do you happen to have any info on timing this type of projector? I replaced the broken solenoid link on my model 700. There was a spring that was dangling when I took it apart and I dont know where it goes. It was connected on one end to the part that moves the top plate to index. Weird note mine wont index unless i stand it on its side buttons up. Any suggestions?

[@charlestharp9925]

+Dave Park I suggest downloading the manual from the Internet. Kodak has fairly good manuals and they are all available in PDF posted by various people so that's where to start.

[@AffordBindEquipment]

to remove the bottom over the front height adjusting screw, run the screw high, remove the Eclip, then run it down as far as it will go. Now it's easy to pull the bottom over the screw. Unlike the video, mine would not come off without removing the Eclip.

[@smichelsen]

I have a Kodak E3 projector that has not been used for many years. When I turn it on, the projector advances constantly. Nothing seems to make it stop! Any ideas as to where I should start with this? THANKS!

[@charlestharp9925]

smichelsen More than likely your solenoid is stuck causing it to constantly run. If your projector is old and never repaired, you will need that kit. It is a real pain in the ass but you can change that solenoid nylon piece that crumbles and falls apart. You need to have good mechanical skills. Try removing just the auto-focus circuit-board in the open compartment area. You will see the 2 screws that hold the solenoid into the mechanism. See if you can replace the broken part and reassemble without breaking-down the entire machine. I've done it both ways.

[@joro8604]

Check out Curt Fargo's channel. He has a great repair video and even sells the parts (although he does not have a link to his channel or ebay store, not sure why...)

[@drmoynihan]

So, last night I pulled out 2 slide projectors, an 850 and a 750. Both of them failed as we were watching old slides !!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it - they have worked faithfully for over 40 years - and then BOTH of them stopped. I unscrewed them and took a good look and now I'm going to put it back together ... AND ... What would you charge if I sent one to you to fix? :)

[@charlestharp9925]

+drmoynihan They are a total pain in the butt to fix. Buy yourself some kits from Amazon and fix them your self.

[@drmoynihan]

+Charles Tharp Darn !!! I was hoping that you'd save me some trouble!!! :) But I guess I'll have to do it myself. Let me know Charles, if you change your mind and I'll send one right over. :)

[@charlestharp9925]

+drmoynihan Try only removing the auto-focus board and getting to the solenoid without having to remove all the mechanism. I remember doing one that way one time. I've also heard of a guy that cut a little metal from the mechanism with a Drimal Tool to make it easier. It's worth a try.

[@davesnothere688]

Any idea what would cause the timer to stop working on a model 800?

[@melvaclarida7668]

Thank you for this video. My husband used this to successfully disassemble and install the Repair Kit in our Kodak 800 slide projector. However, there is one piece "left over" that we cannot figure out where goes. It is a orange plastic object with wires extending from both ends with "225P .1X10% 200DC" stamped on it. Can you tell us or help us find where this goes? We would appreciate it.

[@charlestharp9925]

+Melva Clarida Sorry but I don't know what that is. I never had to remove any wired to repair mine.

[@melvaclarida7668]

+Charles Tharp Thanks again for the prompt reply. He thinks he has it figured out now.

[@benlalib]

+Melva Clarita I am in the same exact position, I found the piece with that color and stamping and was afraid I had broken it off by accident. What did your husband figure out? Any info would be a great help. Thanks.

[@melvaclarida7668]

+Benjamin Laliberte He says that the wiring diagram shows that it ties into the orange wires. The other wire goes to ground. However, ours still does not work.

[@benlalib]

+Teresa Halley Thanks for the info

[@unclewoody]

How do you install the plastic actuator link into the rectangular hole on the actuator arm?

[@charlestharp9925]

Scott Wood The actuator is just slightly larger than the hole. You need to get one end started into the rectangular hole and push hard. Good luck

[@unclewoody]

Charles Tharp I got her done with the plunger inside the solenoid core. It helped to put a couple of 6/32 x 1" screws into the solenoid body's mounting hole. Then you can easily maneuver it in place. Thanks for the help.

[@jonvincentmusic]

There was something eventful about putting on a slideshow on a 10' screen that browsing through digital images on a tablet or even computer monitor does just not match. I miss those days.

[@brianbooth3736]

I am considering purchasing the Amazon repair kit, for a friend who has a Kodak Carousel 5600 , it is not listed in the models that this product can work on, any comments etc, from you, would be greatfully appreciated.' Brian

[@vcaggia1481]

Hello Charles. My unit is a 750H and I ordered the kit you recommended. The parts I received are incorrect for this model. The plunger tab is roughly twice as thick as the original. Any thoughts. I appreciate it.

[@charlestharp9925]

+V You need to Google and research the parts you need for your model. Most Kodaks are similar but I have no knowledge of every model.

[@vcaggia1481]

Charles Tharp Thank you!

[@rodgerbarkoff3623]

i have one of these projector..the carousel does not stop and it just keep going up and down. if you are interested in helping me, i have a number of slides that i would like to look at...would you consider helping me fix this projector. if so, please contact me. thank you.

[@DrJekyll38]

Could you get to the part where you actually DO THE WORK? We can't see what to do if you're NOT DOING IT!

[@unclewoody]

You are correct in saying it is a real pain in the ass to replace the link. When you insert the new plastic link, do you have to rotate it 90 degrees to snap it in place?

[@charlestharp9925]

Scott Wood Yes it's a pain in the ass. No, you just get one end started and push hard. Than you get the solenoid onto the actuator and then you must turn it 90 degrees to get it back in place. Good luck.

[@charlestharp9925]

+Teresa Halley That sounds smart. Thanks for that post. It may help someone.

[@walrustusk7882]

I still did not see you actually repairing the advance mechanism lots of explanationno view of the part removed and the new part changed .......

[@wentgin7458]

Has anyone successfully taken an auto timer from an 850 and installed it in a 760h?

[@joeprete9317]

Why didn't he just record the procedure? He probably had to send it out to have it done for him!

[@jamesnasmith984]

Not helpful. Recording the actual repair was a fatal missed oportunity.

[@user-vr9su5nd9f]

yes i agree that this video shows nothing .

[@KiSsMe4100]

make sure its turned off before you plug it in
