Before you install the lens, remove the bulb without getting fingermarks on it. Get the fan going first, motor bearings probably need oil. Those little slide projectors get dangerously hot.
You may be better taking Sunset 12's deal.

I got the fan running and it works well, and the bulb is easy to remove (see manual photos). The condenser is held in with some tabs that you can push out of the way to take out and install the new condenser.

Hey Everyone,

I got the projector going again with the new condenser/heat filter and went through my some of family's slides. After it gets focused, it works great for a projector from the 1950s. However, the only slides that will fit in the changer are 2x2 slides, since the replacement changer only accepts them (the original 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 changer got lost sometime between 2000 and now), so does anyone have or know where I could get a 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 changer that would fit a B & H Headliner projector?

My B&H slide projector has both carriers, but I wouldn't want to split them up.  PM me if you want to buy the whole projector.  I'll give you a good deal.

Yeah, probably best to not split them up, and I don't need a whole projector. I only need the 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 super slide changer, so I guess the search will continue.
