I have my father's 8mm Kodascope projector Model 30 (in a beautiful hardwood polished / varnished carrying case, padded inside in dark blue)with a Kodak eight Cine Model 20 and a Kodascope eight screen 30" x 22", in the original box. There is also a Bendux light meter in a leather case with a set of tables in the lid, also some splicing equipment,two spare bulbs and other little bits and pieces. All in reasonable condition, considering the age.
I have found some films in accompanying boxes, which I would like to see of my family some 70 years ago.
Now comes the crunch...inside the lense the middle lense is broken and I would like another one. The figures on the front of the lense are:
DALL MEYER F = 3/4" F/1.8 No 152543.
Is there any one who can help me, please.

Its a very old but very good projector,if you can get a lens of the same diameter as the broken one,you can pop that one in as a replacement and at the same time improve the image slightly¬!
So,where to look?

Obviously ebay.
