Slide projector won't stop auto-advancing
My company's otherwise pristine Kodak Carousel 4600 won't stop automatically advancing, which makes for very, very fast slide shows. :-)
I pulled the cover off and checked out the forward and reverse switches -- they look fine, and disconnecting one at a time didn't make a change.
I also checked for loose connections, and moved wires around looking for a short but didn't find one.
Using the wired remote control didn't work either.
My guess is that it's the circuit board. Is that others' experience? Know of a cheap source for a new board if that's the consensus of the problem? Thanks in advance.

The problem is "continuous cycle", a fairly simple adjustment to the cycle switch lever. Remove the lamp module & unplug the projector. Turn it upside down. Remove the 6 T-15 TORX screws from the bottom cover. The lever is a "J" shaped wire near the center of the projector. Refer to the attached diagram for help locating. You will have to carefully(!) bend the wire down - a very little at a time. After each bend, plug the projector in and cycle it a few times. If it continues to cycle, shut it off - unplug it - and bend a little more (too much is bad: the wire can break or "trap" the cycle mechanism. You want to get it in the center of the pad, as the picture illustrates. Good Luck !!
It worked for me thanks a bunch know of to play some slides
