I've had a Cube projector ever since they first hit the market. Bought it mainly for the slide storage space needed with the cubes. If you have a lot of slides, storage space is much reduced by storing in cubes rather than carousels. My only regret with the Cube projector is that you can only go back 1 slide. Hard to believe you can still get new cubes since that projector has been out of production for a long time. If you are looking for a new projector check out the Kodak Ektagraphic series, it's what I've seen most used by the pros - before digital projection.
