Kodak Carousel ELH Projector Lamp Socket – Part 223989

Replace an aged, cracked, or broken lamp socket in compatible Kodak Carousel slide projectors with Kodak Part 223989. This ceramic lamp socket is designed for projectors using the ELH projection lamp and replaces the original socket in compatible Kodak Carousel models.

The high temperatures generated around a projector lamp can take their toll on components over many years of service. As the original ceramic lamp socket ages, it can become brittle and eventually crack or break. Replacing a deteriorated socket helps maintain a secure connection to the ELH lamp during projector repair or restoration.

Specifications

Replacement for an Aging Lamp Socket

The lamp area of a slide projector operates at elevated temperatures. After decades of use and repeated heating and cooling cycles, the original ceramic socket can become brittle.

A socket that is visibly cracked, broken, or otherwise deteriorated should be replaced rather than reused.

Part 223989 provides the correct replacement-style socket for compatible Kodak Carousel projectors equipped with an ELH lamp.

For Kodak Carousel Projectors Using ELH Lamps

Part 223989 is used in a number of Kodak Carousel projector models equipped with the ELH projection lamp.

Documented applications include:

• Kodak Carousel 600H

• Kodak Carousel 650H

• Kodak Carousel 750H

• Kodak Carousel 760H

• Kodak Carousel 850H

It is also used in additional compatible Kodak projector configurations that use this socket and ELH lamp system.

Because Kodak produced numerous projector versions over many years, verify the existing socket and projector configuration before ordering.

Cross-Reference for Kodak Part 202261

Kodak parts references identify 202261 as an earlier lamp socket number and direct users to 223989.

This cross-reference is particularly useful when repairing a projector from an older Kodak service manual or parts diagram that identifies the socket as 202261 rather than 223989.

Why Inspect the Socket When Replacing a Lamp?

When servicing the lamp compartment, inspect more than just the ELH bulb.

Look at the ceramic socket for:

• Cracks in the ceramic body

• Broken ceramic sections

• Loose or damaged connections

• Heat-related deterioration

• Other visible physical damage

Replacing a damaged socket at the same time as other lamp-area service can help avoid having to reopen the projector shortly afterward.

Installation

Installation requires access to the projector's lamp socket and electrical connections.

Disconnect the projector from electrical power and allow the lamp area to cool completely before beginning service. Refer to the appropriate Kodak service documentation for your projector when replacing electrical components.

Ideal For

• Kodak Carousel projector repair

• ELH lamp socket replacement

• Vintage slide projector restoration

• Cracked ceramic lamp sockets

• Broken projector lamp sockets

• Projector lamp compartment repair

• Professional projector service

• Preventative restoration of older projectors
