Take the unit back apart and examine it very carefully to be sure you did get all the debris out of it and that you did reassemble it correctly. There could be something loose that is dropping down into the light channel or your other slides may not be aligning correctly causing a short light interference. I hope this helps.

The clutch contact on your KODAK Carousel 600 Projector has either burned off from use (the projector is almost 50 years old) or is out of adjustment. Either condition will allow the continuous cycle to happen. Because of the projector's age, parts will be really tough to come by. I have attached a diagram to show you what the affected parts look like. Be sure to take extreme caution - - there is exposed electrical contacts all over with the bottom cover removed. Also, be sure to remove the lamp and all optics before starting this repair.

Chances are what you need is a new cycle solenoid LINK. They can be purchased from: www.micro-tools.com They should have instructions to help you install the new part, as well. Good Luck!! Jim

The Carousel 600 Projector is at least 45 years old!! Great to hear it still turns on!! Because the 600 has no forward or reverse buttons, forward is accomplished by "tickling" (very lightly push) the Select bar. If you can cycle it forward and no Select, then you need to adjust the cycle solenoid to find the balance between forward and select. If you have NO forward, then chances are either the cycle solenoid is WAY out of adjustment, or the LINK between the CYCLE SOLENOID PLUNGER and the CYCLE LEVER is broken. You should still be able to order the LINK from: www.micro-tools.com Good Luck !! Jim

The KODAK Carousel 600 Projector has NO forward or reverse controls. To cycle the tray forward, LIGHTLY depress the SELECT bar. Reverse is accomplished by holding the SELECT bar down completely and rotating the tray by hand. Jim

You're correct!! The Kodak Carousel 600 does not have an ADVANCE button. To advance the tray you LIGHTLY depress the SELECT bar on the edge of the projector. There is no reverse capability, other than holding the SELECT bar down fully and rotating the tray by hand. Enjoy your projector!! Jim

If the FUSE is still available (this model could be as much as 50 years ago!!), the fuse is wired into the 120 volt circuit near the projection lamp. Check with: www.micro-tools.com for availability. good Luck!! Jim

A Kodak Carousel 600 has no Forward/Reverse buttons for tray movement. The only way to advance the tray with the slide change mechanism is by LIGHTLY depressing the SELECT bar. To manually advance the tray, push and hold the SELECT bar down fully.While holding the SELECT bar, you should be able to rotate the tray by hand. Good Luck!! Jim

DEK Lamps for Kodak Slide Projectors are almost always in stock at "Batteries PLUS Bulbs" retail outlets. If you don't have one of these stores in your area, try: www.bulbman.com

Because you haven't included much detail, all I can do is speculate..... The most common cause of this is one of the 3 lenses in the lamphouse is either broken, missing or out of position. Next, check to make sure the projection lens (black cylindrical lens inserted in the front of the projector) has been inserted backward. Should you need parts, go to website www.micro-tools.com. They purchased the entire stock of Kodak repair parts and should be able to assist you with whatever you need. Good luck !! jim

First of all, make sure the projection lens is correctly inserted. The gear "rack" that runs down the side of the lens correctly should mesh with the white or black gear (color depends on gear vendor) that is pressed on the focus shaft. Check to make sure the focus knob is secure on the focus shaft (when you turn the knob, the shaft should turn, too). Finally, remove the projection lens and inspect that black or white gear on the focus shaft inside the projector: Is the gear present, and are all the teeth on the gear? One or a combination of these 3 issues are more than likely the cause of your problem. Let me know if I can assist further !! Jim

WOW!! A model 600 !! That model was manufactured between 1964 & 1972. As the "entry-level" model projector, Kodak made it without a lot of the conveniences higher-featured models had. In order to advance the tray, a light touch of the SELECT BAR was required. There is no REVERSE function. If you hold the select bar down too long, the mechanism will "EJECT" the slide (and if you release the select bar, the slide will return to the optical gate. I hope this answers your question!! Good Luck !! Jim
