Hi all, I just won this in New Zealand on Trademe, I can't find any infomation on it and it doesn't have too much info in the projector or films...It works quite well for a toy...The film runs on a loop. Here's the description from the auction - it is a hand-held mini movie projector,,,and 7 films - probably from the 1950's.....??? the little yellow projector measures: 7cm by 4 and a half cm by 4cm.... it has writing embossed on it: UK Design..1020381...Made in Hong Kong.. there are 7 movie cartidges: Mighty Mouse...Laurel and Hardy...Charlie Chaplin Slapstick...Abbott and Costello...Superman Mechanical Monsters...and two with the labels unreadable...(one of these needs screwing together- screw enclosed)... there is a mixture of black/white and colour cartridges.. the cartridges measure: just over 4cm across and 2cm wide...14cm in circumference.. there is writing on the cartidges: Hong Kong...UK Pat 1593591/2 UK Design 1020380... the thing works by putting a film cartridge in the projector...switching it on..and pressing the black button....peep through the eyeglass hole..and WHALLAH!! running movies... NOW....it is hit and miss...works sometimes,,,sometimes not....inside the workings is a little white wheel (which turns when you press the button)..this has knobs on it..most of these are missing..so it just doesn't turn consistently.. it runs on one AA battery...
Any ideas?????
Cheers, Clinton Here are the pictures
