Do I assume that David has 20 projectors for sale, or have I misread?

Great projectors, loved by the British Armed Forces, too heavy to be really portable, but were sturdy and all parts quickly interchangeable.
I have two grey models, one with 4000' arms. One projector has the marking "259 Signal Unit, Episkopi, Cyprus". Could it tell interesting stories?

my dad was a big cine man his first projecter was a damson 540 which he used for a couple of years then he traded it in for a brand new black debrie 25 watt amplifier he bought it in his early teens. I remember my mother telling me she went mad about how much it cost.about 10 years before my father passed away he gave it to me he was 87 when he died .I still have it this day I run the odd film through it now and again and it still performs well and its in mint condition it sound great when you show a film with a lot of music in valve amp .only thing he replaced was the photo cell .we had film shows all through my school years ,he showed films every sat night for over 40 years I now own his collection of over 500 features and added it to mine making it close on a 1000 features

The Danson 540 was an odd projector being that it was left handed, perhaps its designer was also left-handed!

That is some film collection you have David.

Like David my late father was also a real Cine enthusiast and still interested in it when in his mid 90's. The Danson was an interesting machine of which I have only ever seen one in the flesh although they do crop up for sale.
