Question about Kodak ATS Ektagraphic Slide Projector
I HAVE AN E2 AND IT LOOKS VERY SIMILAR.
IN THE ENLARGED PHOTO YOU WILL SEE WHAT APPEARS AS A SCREW HEAD IF YOU TURN THAT SLIGHTLY WITH A SCREWDRIVER IT WILL RETRACT THE PINS YOU SEE IN THE 12 AND 8 OCLOCK POSITION. WHILE HOLDING THE SCREWDRIVER WITH THE PINS RETRACTED YOU THEN CAREFULLY LIFT THE CAROUSEL TRAY FROM THE SIDE OPPOSITE FROM THE ENGAGED STUCK SLIDE.......
....YOU CAN THEN RETRIEVE YOUR STUCK SLIDE...
....OPERATE THE PROJECTOR WITHOUT A TRAY OR SLIDE TO RESET THE MECHANISM...
......AFTER REMOVAL YOU MUST REALIGN THE BOTTOM CAROUSEL TRAY PLATE BY RETRACTING THE SPRING CLIP NEAR THE SLIDE SLOT AND ROTATE THE PLATE UNTIL THE ENGRAVED ARROW LINES UP WITH THE DETENT. (THESE INSTUCTIONS ARE ETCHED ON THE BOTTOM OF MOST CAROUSEL TRAYS.....THE DETENT IS OPPOSITE THE INDEX NOTCH WHICH IS USED TO MOUNT THE TRAY TO THE PROJECTOR...
I HOPE THIS HELPS. I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF A TREASURED SLIDE.

The thing you zoomed upon in your second photo seems like the release latch, try sliding it in the direction indicated in this picture:

Is it possible to perhaps gently extract them with a pair of tweezers? Maybe jiggle the transport a bit while pulling if they seem tight.

your photo is too small to make out any detail. Do you think you could post a larger photo, specifically of the center hub area?
Ok, it looks like the hub can be rotated a few degrees (as in my repost of your photo below) which will align the locking tab and the release channel. The platter should then lift off.
Is there any chance of extracting them using tweezers or by hooking them with a dental pick? It may ruin the slides but save the player.

two slides are stuck in one slot. :(
Thanks for your quick response.
Did my reply come through? I atempted to add a picture to show there does not seem to be a release latch.I've turned it upside down and tapped it but no luck.
Kodak web site manual says I need to remove the tray, but how?

picture of tray bottom. I see no release latch as Kodak site manual suggests. What next?

Is this one helpful? Clicker3
No, it will not rotate. The slides are stuck far down to prevent movement. Something needs to release to allow removal, turning and allignment. Clicker
Two slides stuck fast in a Kodak etagraphic IIIa slide projector. How can I release the tray to clear the gate? See photos & previous suggestions offered.
Thanks,

It does seem like a release latch, but it will not move and is very small and has no leverage. I tried to gently move it with a screw driver but that did not work. I did not want to break it off. The very center part (the round circle) is concave not convex as the picture looks.
Thanks for trying.

Good thought. I tried the tweezers and a dental pick from a dentist friend, but no luck. The slides are old irreplacable family slides that are more valuable than the projector so I don't want to ruin them.
Thanks for trying.
