This came out of an old AV room being gutted at the institution I work at. I was allowed to take anything I liked as it was all being thrown in a skip. Does anyone want to take this on as a project?
I've bought a new power cable for this and it turns on and lights up fine. The speakers hum and there's a response when I turn the bass knob and microphone knob. When I turn on the film feed there's a squealing sound, perhaps a dry bearing or slipping belt? There's no reels included with this, just the machine and a power cable. I don't have any film to thread through to try it out either.
I haven't gone any further than that. I did have a dream to get into 16mm filming and use this to project Ektachrome which I'm sure would have been amazing. In a moment of clarity I realised I have too many projects and not enough time! This projector is such a huge presence and unbelievably heavy. I can't possibly see how it could be shipped - it would surely fall out of the bottom of any box. Come and get it, please, I'm near J15 of the M40.
