I have to say, i am particularly blown away by the fact that Fumeo have somehow managed to fit the Ballast and Igniter into the same footprint on Alan's machine.

This I think, makes this model at it's size, almost unique from what I have ever seen surrounding these things.

All of this plus a stereo integrated amplifier and two internal speakers presumably,...

Very impressive indeed!

I've got a feeling there is only one speaker there but stereo outputs from the amp. Alan?

Flavio I will get a picture of the lamp posted in a day or two
this has been a busy work week for me.
Upon closer inspection I do think it is a HTI variant not Xenon.

The projector has one internal speaker with stereo output.
Everything is indeed internal and very clean. I am surprised as well.

Thanks for the clarification there Alan.

To be honest, aside from a quick simple and convenient method to test the sound from each track, was there ever really any point to fitting two internal speakers so close together in stereo projectors?

Perhaps Fumeo, Eumig, Goko got it right by fitting only one.
Braun went one step further by fitting none! [Big Grin]

The two separate extension speakers for use on stereo projectors was obviously the progressive thing to do.
Just as Radiograms morphed into Music Centres with their two separate Speaker Cabinets in this similar time period.
