The Pradovit rt-m and -s accept the Carousel trays. The newest  
Pradovit rt uses a helical focus mount lens and is the Super  
Colorplan Pro line. These lenses are better then the older lenses.  
The Pradovit-rt is a very sophisticated projector and very expensive.  
It was produced from 1998 to 2006. It was discontinued in 2007. I  
believe Leica has to carry repair parts for 10 years. I don't know  
anything at all about the older leica projectors.
