I have had a Kodak Carousel 860 for almost 10 years with no problems.

Some suggestions:

1) a stack loader is great for viewing slides "out o the box."

2) I didn't like the Kodak lenses, and put in - special at that time - a
   Leitze "Colorplan" lens.  Fantastic difference, particularly at the
   edges.  (That's Leitz, of Leica fame.  I can't spell.)  Now that Leitz
   has a Carousel-compatible, you may be able to buy the Leitz lens 
   "off the shelf."

I have heard that the resolution of the B & H lenses isn't very good.  If
that's the case, then why bother with your sharp lenses and Kodachrome to
get all that quality on the film, if you can't see it.

I also use a matte screen, which gives better resolution than a lenticular
type.
