Good luck George.  I also have the 253 IR, I bought it several years ago 
when I noticed it in a camera store and it was marked $75.  It looked in 
mint condition, had the leather case with everything, except for the IR 
controller.  I also have an old 250 Color unit which is in excellent shape 
and works really nice.  I have had the cover off of it as I had to replace 
the lamp.  It is a fairly easy operation, so you should have no problem 
doing it.

Hi Gene, Thanks for your response. Unless there is a slide buried inside, 
there were no slides in the carrier when I bought it. I did remove the cover 
but did not see anything. my next step is to remove the outer casing. I see 
some screws I hope I can remove.
