Registered: Oct 2005 posted 10-04-2005 01:02 PM                     I'm doing a research project at Northern Illinois University on the Powers No. 6B Projector. Any information, materials, links, pat. numbers, etc... that anyone could direct me to would be greatly appreciated.

Email me off list for what you need. I can email you pics if you like, Rick. Note, the Atlas pic was moved to the Atlas thread. There is a close-up of that simplex head there.

Looks like a Standard Simplex to me, set up for picture and track.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 10-07-2005 03:48 AM                     ..yea, a good ol SuperSimplex...  |  IP: Logged Rick Force Film Handler Posts: 7 From: ontario, ca., usa Registered: Sep 2005 posted 10-07-2005 05:41 AM                     hi guys, what picture do you see in my reply above or this one? I only see that "angery joe" pic, no projector? Thanks, Rick.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 10-07-2005 10:50 AM                       quote: Monte L Fullmer .yea, a good ol SuperSimplex... I was debating on whether it was a Standard or a Super. I can't see the front very good, and the door and shutter guard looked narrow, so I figured on a Standard. Re: last pix... now THAT'S a Powers! Looks great! There's so many of those that I just walked around for years. Wish I'd grabbed one.  |  IP: Logged Robert Throop Master Film Handler Posts: 412 From: Vernon, NY USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-07-2005 04:27 PM                     Is that soundhead an RCA PS24?

I think Gordon is right; " Ballantyne Royal Corn Husker.er I mean Royal Sound Master  |  IP: Logged Dick Prather Master Film Handler Posts: 259 From: Portland, OR, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-08-2005 12:40 AM                     It looks like a Ballantyne Model 6 to me also along with a GE incandescent lamp. I have the complete set of adaptors and gears for Power's #6 projector, lamp, and base to RCA 1040-70. These won't work on a PS-24 because of the motor rotation. I have been helping the person who started this thread and will be sending him some info shortly. Bob give me a call sometime. You should still have my number. Dick  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

The Model 6 has a window half the size (the right half) and doesn't have a sprocket in the middle (it has two sprockets, one above another, about two inches from the right side panel). Whatever it's called, I've got a few of them with XLs sitting on top of them. Maybe I'll remember on Tuesday... apparently my brain is taking the long weekend off.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 10-08-2005 02:41 AM                     Here's a pix below of a Model 6 with a Motiograph sitting on top of it from the drive-in I used to work at..
