I might have found my third Leitz Large Lecture Hall Epidiaskop IIIs,
with 4x5" slide projection @1500W (and quick slide-changer to boot!
(similar to the Leitz 2502 fast-changer, although manual of
course))....wonder whether we'll ever see a digi-equivalent for
that?....:))

The only digi-beamer once recommended by a Dutch magazin (article
written by leading Dutch slideprojector-supplier) is a JVC with
1400x1200 or so pixels, at 10k euro....which he defended by saying
that a fully decked out dissolve combination wouldn't be much cheaper
(4x Carroussel+multitrack-tapedeck).

They will probably *have* to match the analog series with the core
components of the digi-models, simply because in the end it probably
is more expensive to keep old components/assemblies in production
(with all matching parts/data-communication) than it is to start from
scratch (or better: semi-scratch, being a partly spin-off from the
core digi-design)).
