Sawyer GAF Rotary Slide Tray

If your rotary carousel holds 100 slides, there’s a good chance it’s a Sawyer GAF “Rototray.” These trays hold the slides very tightly, even bending them. Your slides have to be removed from these trays and put into labeled stacks for scanning.

Below are the identifiers, compatible projectors, and original specs.
