Kodak Carousel Projector Solenoid Link – Part 217769

Restore slide tray advance and reverse operation with this Kodak projector replacement solenoid link, Part 217769. This small mechanical link fits on the end of the solenoid actuator arm and is secured in place with Rivet 159943.

A broken solenoid link is one of the most common causes of a Kodak slide projector tray that will no longer advance or reverse. Replacing the damaged link can restore the mechanical connection needed for proper tray cycling without replacing the complete solenoid assembly.

Specifications

Common Cause of Tray Advance & Reverse Failure

When a Kodak slide projector powers on but the slide tray no longer advances or reverses properly, a broken 217769 solenoid link is a common cause.

The link forms part of the mechanical connection at the solenoid actuator arm. Because this small component can break with age and use, the rest of the projector may remain functional even though the tray cycling mechanism no longer operates correctly.

Replacing the broken link restores this mechanical connection.

Where the Link Fits

Part 217769 installs on the end of the solenoid actuator arm.

It is held in place by Kodak Rivet 159943. The link and rivet work together, so the correct rivet is an important part of the repair.

Always Replace the Rivet

When replacing the 217769 link, we recommend installing a new Rivet 159943 rather than reusing the old rivet.

The rivet is sold separately and is specifically used to secure this link to the solenoid actuator arm.

Individual Replacement Part

This product is the 217769 link only. It is not the complete solenoid, actuator arm, or solenoid arm assembly.

Replacing only the failed link allows you to repair this common failure without replacing additional components that may still be serviceable.

Installation

Replacing the solenoid link requires some projector disassembly and moderate mechanical aptitude.

Before beginning the repair, disconnect the projector from electrical power and familiarize yourself with the location and operation of the solenoid actuator mechanism.

Correct installation of the link and retaining rivet is important for reliable tray operation.

Ideal For

• Kodak Ektagraphic projector repair

• Slide trays that will not advance

• Slide trays that will not reverse

• Broken solenoid link replacement

• Projector restoration

• Preventative projector servicing

• Camera and projector repair shops

• DIY projector repair
