Hey guys, I'm new to this forum. I have been a dabbler in Super 8 collecting and I've always enjoyed it, but I've never gotten into it too seriously.

That said, I found an item at a garage sale recently that I think is very cool, but I can't find any information about it.

It's an 8mm projector housed in a brief case. In the lid of the case there is a mirror and screen. When it's all folded out, the image projects from the the bottom to the mirror which reflects it to the back of the screen. You can sit and watch the screen like a TV. It's a pretty ingenious little item.

It's marked Insistor II and seems to be from (or at least made in) Japan.

Have any of you guys heard of it? Is it a rare item or just something I haven't seen? Any info would be appreciated.

I don't know this specific model but tv screen looking like projectors are not rare.
