I've decided to sell a few projectors as I really have no need to have more than two or three in my collection. With some hesitation, I'm selling my very rare professional Canon Cine projector model T-1 silent dual 8mm . This projector is built like a tank! It features some really nice options! The lens is a Canon PS f:1.0 zoom 17-28 mm which is extremely sharp with nice contrast. It's also very bright thanks to the two lamp setting (low/high). The projector is very quiet once threaded and running. This was Canon's top of the line back in 1972. It was produced in low numbers. They spared no expense! The projector includes a take up reel, splicer, sales brochure, cleaning brush, and I'm throwing in an extra brand new 150 watt DNF bulb. It also features lip-sync projection achieved by electronic motor control using signals from a tape recorder. When I first purchased the projector, earlier this year, I gave it a full cleaning including lubrication. The original belt is like new and one that's of heavy type rubber material. I believe it's part nylon/rubber but that's just a guess. I'm asking $250 and $40 for shipping USA only. I accept Paypal only! I'm including several links. My Google Drive link for photos of the projector, and a link to Canon's museum page. Also a link to YouTube showing my machine running.

Looks like a good machine. Congratulations to the new owner.

Yes the new owner will be getting a very nice machine. Everything about it is top notch! I hated to let it go but I've decided to downsize to just three silent projectors. The Bolex 18-5L Super, the regular 18-5, and a Elmo FP8-C.
