From the Manufacturer

Round slide trays are an integral part of the KODAK Slide Projector system. They are designed to accept standard 2" x 2" slide mounts.

Features

• Reliable operation - each slide is gently lowered by gravity into the projector and raised again into the tray by level action.
• Spill-proof - removable retaining ring holds slides securely.
• Round tray - permits easy selection and automatic repeating of the slides. Fast and easy tray changing.
• Convenient storage - like a library book in its own dust-proof case. Ships with easy-to-use, peel-away labels for identifying and indexing purposes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Info on Which Kodak Tray Type Will Work Best With Your Slides, January 31, 2008

This review is from: Kodak Carousel Transvue 80 Slide Tray B80T (Electronics)

Trying to decide between the two popular 80 capacity trays Kodak produced? The Ektagraphic Universal trays and the Transvue BT80 trays are both designed to work with the exact same projectors. The latch mechanism design is a little different on them but both types work well, are durable, and both are "Universal" (they both fit the exact same Carousel and Ektagraphic III projector models). The only real difference is the color, so if you prefer black buy the Ektagraphic Universal tray, if you prefer gray buy the BT80 (Transvue) trays.

If you are considering the Kodak 140 capacity trays and your slides are more than 20 years old it can be a bit of a gamble. Many slide types, especially the Kodak cardboard mounts that were so popular for decades, will normally warp just a little with age. When this happens they will still work fine in the 80 capacity trays but tend to jam occasionally (or often depending on the degree of the warp) when used in the 140 capacity tray. So if you have cardboard or plastic mounted slides (and you would like for them to work dependably for years to come) it is safer to stick with the 80 capacity trays.

I have been using this tray from Kodak for the past 20 years. I have not found any faults with the tray. I use 2x2 slides which have been professionaly mounted. I have some slides which date back to 1955 and am still showing them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real workhorse if you still use slides!, October 17, 2011

This review is from: Kodak Carousel Transvue 80 Slide Tray B80T (Electronics)

I've got thousands of Kodachome slides. I know... I'm slowly scanning them and going digital. However, I have a lot of experience with Kodak's Carousel 80 trays, and believe me, this model is the real dependable workhorse. Jamming is rare (be VERY wary of the 140 slide tray... I recommend NEVER using it if you don't want to interrupt your slide show with a jam, or, gasp, a projector that won't accept the 140).

Dependable, dependable, dependable. What else should you expect from a slide tray? Oh, but make sure you ALWAYs double-check the locking ring and, like the safety on a gun, never depend on it. Believe me when I say this!
