I too have a similar projector that is not immediately at hand right now, so I can't check the model number.
But my understanding is that there were a number of models made over the years.
So, the manual vs automatic slide transition is what I was concerned about. The 66T, for example, automatically advances the slides. I'd like to avoid that
I'm in the market for a medium format slide projector. I currently have the Rollei P11, but it jams constantly. I'd like to get something like the Mamiya/Procabin 67-Z, but I have also read that Kindermann made a manually advanced medium format project at one point. I can't seem to find any information on this project. Does anyone happen to know the model number?
They are all nearly the same. No important differences as far as I know, but you should have a look at the supplied lens. Many of these projectors are fitted with a poor 3.5/150 mm plastic lens. No fun to use really. A better lens is often offered at a higher price than the projector already equipped with a good lens.
I can recommend the Docter Lumagon 2.8/150 mm. However, a Schneider AV-Xenotar may be even better, but hard to find, and expensive.

Which MF projector was supplied with a CHEAP PLASTIC lens ?
That might be a reference to the lens' housing, as well as the fairly pedestrian performance of the "entry level" lens that was supplied with many of them.
The better lenses are sometimes in metal housings.
In my experience, even the basic lenses permit a satisfying viewing experience in most moderate sized rooms.

My Rollei P11 jams constantly. It also took quite a bit of work on my part to refurbish a rubber friction wheel inside the unit to even get it working in the first place. That is why I'd like to avoid automatic advance. My experience of the unit is that it is not very reliable, although I am very happy for the folks who have units that are working perfectly.
No, I am not mistaking automatic advancing (push a button to advance) with some other transition method.
There's always the Hasselblad projector.

Its not a manual slide change projector.
But it's gravity fed, and almost impervious to jamming. That's what made the Kodak Carrosels so popular and an industry standard. If a slide didn't want to go in, it didn't, and you just progress to the next one.
