I need a new lamp for my Vivitar Slide Projector (3000 AF). The manual says to use a 24V, 150W, Q.I.Type (Hanimex type A1/216).
Where can I find this Lamp?
Thanks for the help. Ron

Changing bulbs all work to a theme. Remove the cover, pull out the old bulb and insert the new one without touching it with bare fingers.
I have the same projector and use this brand of bulb "OSRAM" Halogen Display/Optic Lamp: 64655 HLX 250W 24v G6.35 NAED 54254 and are cheap to purchase also the more you buy the cheaper the bulb.
Try searching at www.bulbman.com or at a "Batteries plus Bulbs" franchise. Look on the lamp for a 3-letter code. This ANSI code is unique to the lamp and is a great aid in lamp identification.
Be sure you have the specific 3-letter code from the burned out lamp, in addition to the model name/number of the projector. Armed with that, go to www.bulbman.com They have lamps for just about anything !! Good Luck!! jim
Your best bet is the internet - do a Google search for a new or used one. Be sure to be specific on the brand and model of the projector you need the tray to fit. "Carousel" is a Kodak trademark, and someone looking to make a quick buck might assume you can use a Kodak tray on your Vivitar (which we know you can't). And there's still a TON of Kodak trays out there. Good Luck! Jim
What is the description of the lamp? Braun's current catalog numbers for lamps are 80231 for the 150W 24V and 80232 for the 250W 24V. If you need a different lamp you should bring the old lamp to a camera store and let them look it up from the bulb manufacturers.
Check the list of available lamps at: www.bulbman.com !! If you have the 3-alpha (a 3-letter ANSI designation unique to each lamp design) lamp code it will be easier to find it.... Good Luck !!
Occasionally, the slide gets stuck while operating the mechanical hand to change the slide. Most of the time it works when I push the slide carrier by hand. Very very infrequently, the projector actually throws out the slide. I have ascertained that teh Kodak slides which are mounted on paper frames are much too thin for the mechanical hand pushing teh slide in and out. The solution is to remount teh slides on palstic frames or some how add to the thickness of the slide. I have not tried it yet , though.
