Mini Buyer's Guide For Kodak Slide Projectors
|
First a little about the projector in this listing: The AMT model with the better "Extra Bright" light module was Kodak's best selling professional projector for many reasons. It has the features most will use (auto-focus, remote-focus, variable timer, etc), projects an excellent picture, and like all the Ektagraphic III machines it is very durable. The AMT cost quite a bit more new but can be had used for about the same price now. If you are buying a slide projector this is the one I would recommend.
The best tip I can offer when buying a Kodak projector: Buy an Ektagraphic III series machine and avoid the Carousel series machines. The Carousel series (4600, 4400, 4200, etc) is more familiar to most users but were built for home use. All have plastic gears that get brittle and fail with age (whether they are used or not). The Ektagraphic series machines (AMT, A, E Plus, E) do not have this problem since Kodak used metal gears in the professional models. The controls work the same and are in the same places (so if you've used a Carousel using an Ektagraphic is the same). The Ektagraphic machines have other advantages over the Carousel series (better slide registration, etc) but the major difference is the durability.
Which model to buy? First you need to determine which of the three major features you desire so let's quickly review them. Auto-focus is where you focus the first slide and the machine will focus the rest. Remote-focus allows you to manually focus each slide with the remote control. And the variable timer feature automatically advances to the next slide at a set interval (adjustable from about 3 to 30 seconds per slide). And here are the features on each Kodak model (AF=Auto-focus, RF=Remote Focus, VT=Variable Timer):
Ektagraphic III AMT: Has AF, RF and VT
Ektagraphic III A model and the Carousel 4600: AF (no RF or VT)
Direct Link: [[ASIN:B00005213S Kodak BC4601 Carousel 4600 Projector]]
Note: The Ektagraphic III A is offered in the Carousel Listing (read seller descriptions)
Ektagraphic III E Plus and the Carousel 4400: RF (no AF or VT)
Direct Link: [[ASIN:B00006ID38 Kodak(R) Ektagraphic III E Plus Slide Projector]]
Direct Link: [[ASIN:B00005213U Kodak BC4401 Carousel 4400 Projector]]
Ektagraphic III E and the Carousel 4200: None (no AF, RF, or VT)
[[ASIN:B00005213Y Kodak BC4201 Carousel 4200 Projector]]
Note: The Ektagraphic III E is offered in the Carousel Listing (read seller descriptions)
Note that the Ektagraphic III ATS model and the Carousel 5600 are not listed here. Both have the same features on the AMT model with a small pull-out view screen added. I would not recommend the ATS/5600 as the picture on the pull-out view-screen is low-quality (only good for being able to see what is on a slide).
Any of these machines can use the optional Kodak or Navitar "Bright Light" modules but most were not sold with them. Buying a projector with the Extra Bright Light Module is recommended as they do increase the brightness of the projected image by about thirty percent.
Last Tip: All of the machines listed above can use any of these three lamp types:
EXW = Brightest available (but only about half the life of an EXR).
EXR = Medium life and Brightness lamp.
FHS = Long Life (but lower brightness and also adds a slight yellow tint to images).
Hope the Mini Buyer's Guide has helped, and of course enjoy the slide show! |
