A pretty sum for a lovely bit of re-engineering. That it needs belts didn't affect the high final value.

The seller thought it might have been a Buckingham conversion, however, if it was, it would have a Buckingham label on it, so perhaps his Dad did convert it to 9.5mm.

Price always high enough for an untested projector, albeit a "rare" conversion.
Also only optical audio.
