I picked up this freebie Revere vintage slide projector, with its Wollensak 5" 3.5 anastigmat lens.
(yes, I have junk around, pleading guilty!)

Is it worthy of use in a DIY box camera, perhaps?

What characteristics would it bring out?

Oddly, it has a built-in aperture-like closer (operated by a rod), and is built like a tank.
