This 16mm projector has been reduced from £862. It has not been fully tested. I notice a lot of people (I assume they are very young) have no idea of the meaning of the word Antique, which was how this was originally desribed before relisting. I have seen lots of 1940s movies described as antique: anything less than 100 years is veteran or vintage.

Looks like a 535 from 1970. Not a very good model with its three click position tone switch. No inching knob and manual threading.
Absolute top price £50, and that's with a perfect worm gear.

It's interesting how so many things on Ebay (which are no longer available in the high street) are described as either "vintage" or "antique". That projector was still in use when I was in school in the early 80s. I remember the science teacher showing us a print of "live and let die" on it....perhaps I am becoming an antique.
