I cannot advance the carousel to remove it from the projector because the select bar will not release to allow the carousel to move freely.
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

do you hear any sounds when you press the button? if not, the button may be malfunctioning. if it doesn't make a sound or movement in reverse either, there is a bad connection between the controls and the solenoids. if it does try to advance and not move the carousel, it's a mechanical problem in the mechanism. usually due to the grease getting sticky from heat and age. take it in for a good cleaning and an adjustment. there are a few cams in there that wear out after a while, too.

By the sounds of your description, your projector needs an adjustment to the slide change mechanism. This is best done by a factory-trained dealer, who has the service manual. Sorry I can't be of more help. Happy New Year!

You have jammed the slide change mechanism. Turn the projector off. Remove the tray using the emergency release slot in the center hub of the projector. Turn the projector on and cycle it a few times in reverse, then in forward. That usually clears a mechanism jam.

This is a pretty common problem. First, make sure the locking ring on the top of the slide tray is on tight! Next (power off), place a quarter in the center hub of the projector and turn (while lifting the tray). If you have a newer projector it will have a plated slider that you can move with your fingertip, instead of the quarter. Lift the tray off the projector and turn it upside down (now you know why I said "make sure the locking ring on the slide try is on tight"!!). Remove the slide in the gate of the projector and return it to the slot visable through the plate on the bottom of the tray. Keeping the tray upside down, pull back on the short metal spring near the outer edge of the tray. Holding that spring in, rotate the metal plate until it gets to the "zero" location on the tray. Release the spring.
Now turn on the projector (without the tray) and cycle it 3 or 4 times in Reverse (that clears the jam). Replace the tray and you are good to go!!
By the way, closely inspect the corners of your slides. If they are de-laminating, or if the entire slide has a "bow" to it, you will continue to have problems with your 140 Slide Trays. They were designed to hold the absolute maximum number of slides, with very little margin for error. If your slides are like mine, you may be better off moving them to 80-Slide Trays (available cheap and in great numbers used on the internet.
If this has helped you, great!! If you have more questions, please ask!! Please take a minute and give FixYa some positive feedback if I have helped you!
Good Luck !!

You are experiencing a fairly common problem called continuous cycling. It is caused by use or mis-adjustment.
If you feel comfortable with a electro-mechanical adjustment, take a look at the attached picture for the correct alignment of the cycle contacts. The positioning is critical for correct operation.
Turn the projector upside down (unplugged), and remove the bottom screws. Then carefully remove the bottom cover. The cycle contact assembly will be in the center of the projector.
If you need help, contact a authorized repair dealer. Good Luck!!
