Thanks for your interesting comments and thoughts. If an earlier Pageant had an AC/DC motor then it would not require to be governed by the mains frequency, all that would be needed would be a suitable transformer. The later machines with a synchronous motor would probably work if an enterprising person could change the pulleys for a different size.
I have been browsing on the Internet and find that Kodak were very prolific with producing probably about twenty different models of the Pageant.
They seem to be divided into three separate versions.
First model from 1951 had the spool arms at the front (with the need to overhang the table/stand), these had a valve amp vertically placed to the left of the lamp-house, lamps were standard two flange pre-focus and up to 1200 watts.
The second model had the spool arms front and rear vertically, same lamps as before, a transistorised amp and the projector lived in the bottom of its case (a la Ampro.)
The third model was as above but the lamp was now the EJL. The last variant, the 250S finished in January 1983.
Kodak now turned to Japan and the Elmo slot-loader, the 16-CL, appeared badged as the Kodak Ektagraphic CT1000, this was introduced in January 1983.
The voltage and hertz never seemed to be mentioned in reviews or ads, but manuals indicate 105-125 volts at 60 Hz.
