Re: Pentax 501 slide ?projector?

[graywolf]

I am not familiar with it, but it looks like it is missing the slide changer 
part. Several other similar projectors had a mechanism that you pulled out the 
slide holder dropped a slide in to it then pushed it back in. The changer would 
fit in beteen the lamp housing and the lens. I recall that Kodak (and Minolta) 
sold such a projector that you see on Ebay now and then, you might check. Might 
look and see if you can find a picture of one of them that shows the slide changer.

So now it's arrived and I'm looking at it.
It small and compact.
It looks like a slide projector.
But, it's missing some bits that could hold the slide.
Does anybody know anything about this item?
About how old is it?
Was it sold in the US or only Japan?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,  Bob S.
