Hello all. Recently I posted on the 9mm Pathe Baby projector that I had found. Now I have discovered a Agfa Movector 16A that I have never seen before. Its in good conduction though needs some repaint. What is the history of the projector?

Regards

Chris

Hi, Chris. I found a page in German about this projector. Saddly my German is more than poor, maybe someone could translate it for us. From what I understand, this projector was the first 16mm silent projector made by Agfa (in 1928). Agfa improved it in 1931 with the "Agfa Movector 16 AS". Here is the link to the German page : http://www.museum-digital.de/san/index.php?t=objekt&oges=6306

Hello Dominique. Thank you for that information. My German is limited too - pity that the article allows for translation as Wiki does. Enough to tell me that I have a very historical projector. Whew.
