6x6 projector

[Tony-S]

I came across this while checking out our local Craigslist:

I'm sure there's some interest here, so I'm posting it. If it had been 6x7, you would have never known about it!

I do not know what these go for today but, if I were there I'd grab it. Finding a 6x6 projector is hard enough. I have a Polaroid that was made by them to demonstrate I believe their Polarvision system. It apears they had a boatload of these NIB years later in their warehouse and sold them off for $75 from memory so I grabbed one. A Rollei is a better unit as it was made for long tem use where the Polaroid was engineered for a heavy duty short tem life.

Ah, rollei P11 with the 110-160 Zoom

Price is reasonable, but:
- The rollei P11 is quite old. They are somewhat prone to jamming. On the plus side, they're easy enough to take apart and you can generally spot what's going on without a huge amount of knowledge (Sticking contacts / leaf switches are a favorite on mine)
- The bulb is hard to get hold of, but conversion to a modern halogen bulb is straight forward enough. And you get a bit more brightness without needing heat shields.
- The 110-160 Zoom isn't very sharp and won't show your slides off as nicely as they could. The 150mm prime is much better
