Hi all,
Due to my USB card that had my complete list of all gauges of films and projectors I own getting damaged I've started to make a new list (and a backup too!)And it's a big list but apart from the usual projectors I do have some "gems"
[Smile]
These 4 x 9.5mm projectors are in various degrees of condition and don't have a light source.I would like to get them working or at least see if they work.
Any suggestions or do many just use them as a display model only?
N.B. The pics are stock photos from the internet ...

Cheers from me in New Zealand :-)

Hello Clinton. The best light source for the projectors you have illustrated would be a 12 volt 10watt Halogen. However, I would never actually use any of them. They were all really just toys, even the "Kid" although made by Pathescope had a poor reputation. The "Imp" was slightly better as it was an improved model. Most people seem to collect them for display purposes as you suggest. The best of the hand cranked machines was undoubtedly the "Home Movie" followed by the "Ace" if used properly!! Ken Finch.

Hi Ken,
You maybe right about them being good for displays now,I was thinking the same.
And 10w bulb would have a pathetic picture brightness!
I've also heard that these projectors are murder on the films if not working properly.
I have an Ace and it works quite well,but not well enough to use.
Cheers for your thoughts [Smile]
