Excellent condition 16 mm channel loading projector from our friends in Nagoya, Japan.

- 220v/50 cycles
- French plug (needs an adaptor to run in other countries)
- 24 fps (but can be set to run at 18 fps)
- 24v-250w lamp with hi and lo setting
- Optical sound (on-off/volume/tone knob)
- Built-in amplifier and speaker
- Plug for external speaker
- 1800ft spool capacity (accept 2200ft small core reels)
- Belt and rubber rollers are recent (come from a DOA machine)
- Upgraded take-up arm with toothed belt and cog

As I'm venturing more and more into 35mm, I no longer need a back-up 16mm machine. This particular projector has been with me for quite a while and I took really good care of it. It's been cleaned and lubed. It's in really good working condition and purrs like a kitten. Very quiet, very gentle on films. A few scratches here and there on the casing but nothing major.

Accessories:
- 50mm f1.2 lens (very crisp and clean, excellent light throughput)
- Original Elmo zoom extension. It will transform the 50mm lens into a 40 - 62.5 mm zoom (condition is good, there's a teeny-tiny spot of blooming and two scratches but they don't interfere with projection at all)
- Chretien cinemascope lens. Excellent lens from the inventor of cinemascope (good condition but a couple of spots. Then again, they don't interfere with projection).
- Home-made swing-down scope bracket built from a CHC adaptor ring, bits found at a DIY store and from a GS1200 broken daylight viewer. A small bolt has been screwed into the projector's body to hold the lens at the correct height.

- 500ft plastic take-up reel (can be stored at the back of the machine)
- 1800ft metal take-up reel
- Original Elmo vinyl dust cover
- 16mm film (5 minutes from Disney's The Black Cauldron, bandsaw extract but fantastic colours.)

User's manual not included but can be downloaded from Film-Tech's manual section (see the left-hand side column).

Asking price: 480 euros + S&H
(detailed: projector 250 euros / zoom extension 80 euros / scope lens and bracket 180 euros / spools 15 euros / film 35 euros / 560 total)

Shipping to EEC countries should be around 70 euros. Paypal payment accepted at no extra cost.
