It finally arrived!

24V 250W lamp (I will upgrade to 36V 400W in a year or so), unfortunately without laser (future upgrade, in the meanwhile I turn the volume up), stereo, rewind capability, 2000mt spool capacity and it weights 34kg.
The projector has been designed and built by a friend of mine, using pieces coming from a Fedi XI.

At the moment I screened only some commercials as the movies I have are in scope and I need a scope lens that can handle a 4mt throw (16mm scope lens absorbs too much light and the 35mm scope lens has a minimum distance of 12 mt).

Here it is:

A more detailed view with the lamp:

Yes, it's 35mm. It has been build using pieces coming from a Fedi XI 35mm italian projector (geneva cross, sound drum) and all the internal mechanism has been redesigned to allow rewind capability, belt trasmission and small size.
