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.
