Author Topic: Does anybody know about this projector it's a Sony Bobby Saraceno Film Handler Posts: 2 From: Binghamton, ny, USA Registered: Oct 2008 posted 03-08-2010 12:26 PM                     I have a friend in Japan who sent me some pictures of a projector on a Japanese online auction site. It's a Sony and it's a combination of projector head and lamphouse. Does anybody have any info about this. Although shipping would upwards of $200.00, the owner only want's about $50.00 (5000 yen) so I'm thinking of buying as a project. Check out the pictures below.

I don't see any sound system so it must be projector only.  |  IP: Logged Phil Ranucci Expert Film Handler Posts: 236 From: Carpinteria,CA, United States Registered: May 2006 posted 03-08-2010 02:01 PM                     Maybe it's a filmstrip projector.  |  IP: Logged Jean-Marc Toussaint Film Handler Posts: 60 From: Paris, France Registered: May 2008 posted 03-08-2010 02:01 PM                        It looks like a still film projector (as in "slides on a film strip"), the sort of machine we had at summer camp when I was a kid to watch comics and photo novels.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 03-08-2010 03:30 PM                     Ya, it does look like a filmstrip projector - look at the upper carriage where the filmroll sits in and the knurled knob on the end of the sprocket below the gate ... - Monte  |  IP: Logged Ian Parfrey Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1049 From: Imbil Australia 26 deg 27' 42.66" S 152 deg 42' 23.40" E Registered: Feb 2009 posted 03-08-2010 03:41 PM                     Yep, definitely a filmstrip projector. The knurled knob on the sprocket shaft is a dead giveaway. These were popular in schools before the introduction of Beta, VHS and 1/2' B&W open reel video machines. This would make a cool 35 to 16mm reduction printer project.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Saraceno Film Handler Posts: 2 From: Binghamton, ny, USA Registered: Oct 2008 posted 03-08-2010 05:55 PM                     I figured it had to be something else, no body has ever talked about a Sony projector head before.  |  IP: Logged
