I have a Leisgang Fantax 600M which is a semi-manual 
system (it uses trays but you advance the slides by pulling 
and pushing the slide).  There was a similar model which 
was fully automatic (sorry don't know the model number).  
The same projectors were also sold under another name.
As these were made in Europe you may have a chance of finding
one of these.  They work well.  I have not had any problems 
with mine, and the projection quality is good.
