I suppose somebody has a reason to bid on this relic.

Hi, They may be old and well worn like me but were very good performers. I have 2 of these black beasties which are now museum pieces of course, also like me!! Mine used to easily outperform the schools Bell and Howell 601 at the annual christmas film show. They were built like a tank and were equally as heavy! Used extensively by the Navy and R.A.F. They have an arc lamp version at Duxford operated by members of the Projected Picture Trust. Cinetechnic manufactured them under licence from Debrie, one of the leading European professional cinema equipment manufacturers. The main problem with keeping them running is the lamp and the valve amplifier. They were very easy to maintain because they were built on the principle of interchangeable units. Ken Finch.

What I am getting at is that is doesn't seem complete. There is no mention of a transformer or a loud speaker. It appears to be the black model in silver paint, this model had no tilt arrangement unless it was mounted on its special tripod.
Not really worth buying unless required for spares.
