RE: glass slides
Just an idea. If you find a Carousel projector, remove the carousel. It is very possible that you can put the glass slides in one at a time. I seem to recall that the slot that accepted the slides had a rather wide opening. It had two spring loaded metal flanges (one on each side) so it is quite possible that it is wide enough for a glass mounted slide. You push it down and, when you want to retrieve it, you just hit the advance button and it will pop up. You wouldn't enjoy the convenience of the carousel but at least you may be able to project them. CHEERS!

I don't know a model number, but it worked entirely manually. It had a sliding mechanism that stuck out from the side, and loaded the slide from the side rather than the top. I would suspect any of the older projectors that did not automatically load slides from a tray would work. juan Christina Z.
