This brings up the whole subject of Leica Projectors...

There were 2 ( modern) lines :  Pradovit and Pradolux.

Pradovit accepted the straight line slide magazines
Pradolux accepted the Carousel type magazines.

Which is the more reliable/practical to own, now, when repair etc might be
harder to find then it was 20 years ago?
Is there a difference in the lens quality for the different lines?
Which are the preferred models, or, rather, what models to avoid?

BTW, the lenses I found were setup for the rack and pinion focusing system
of the Pradolux.  I do not know if there were labeled "P2" or not.....
