What's the surest way to get guests to leave from your home? Show 1,000 slides of your vacation. Most pictures today are shown via a PowerPoint presentation through an LCD projector. It is becoming increasingly hard to find a slide projector and a camera store that will process slides.
Instructions
1. Scour Internet sites that sell used camera equipment. The most popular slide projector was made by Kodak. Kodak discontinued production of the Kodak Slide Carousel in 2004. European-made slide projectors house the slides in trays instead of carousels.
2. Make note of the wide variation in prices with slide projectors. An average price for used slide projectors is approximately $250.00. Prices for some slide projectors range as high as thousands of dollars.
3. Purchase extra accessories with a used slide projector. Stock up on bulbs and lenses to keep the equipment running.
4. Buy extra carousels or trays to store all of the slides. Storing the slides in carousels or trays requires less handling of the slides.
5. Locate a camera shop that processes slides to convert pictures to slides. These shops are increasingly harder to find.
6. Show slide shows projected on to a screen. A screen makes for easier viewing than projecting on to a wall.
