Hi
I ve obtained a projector from a house clearance, its a Siemens and in immaculate condition, but I can see no model name etc. I ve tried googling and found some similar and believe its from the 50's. All the controls are in German. I've listed it on ebay as want it out the way but did wonder if I had some old antique I was going to end up let going for nothing for someone else to make a mint and were also a bit curious to its exact age. Any help would be appreciated. The listing is here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120743352232

Thanks everyone
Jer

Jer,

Welcome to the Forum! I believe you have a "Siemens Standard" 16mm projector. It uses a 50v 200w bulb. Some models came with an optical sound attachment made by Klangfilm but I don't see that device in your pictures. This model was manufactured between 1933 & 1950.

As always, thanks to Jürgen Lossau's Movie Projectors guide.
