Hello all. My first sorti into this realm. In sorting out a deceased estate I have discovered a Pathe Baby projector in reasonable condition. The version is a hand cranked one. It has had some recoverable mods done on the lamp. The previous owner replaced the resistor with a bulb in series to reduce the voltage and other small bits.
The main item I am looking for, is a film for it. Any length will do so that it will look complete.
Some repainting will be needed too. An image will come later.

Hi Christopher,
Many 9.5mm films, both in the original Pathe Cassette, and on larger reels, can be found on ebay.
The Pathe Baby is very easy to convert to modern , safe, low voltage halogen lighting using the small 12 volt 10 watt bulb used in landscape lighting systems:
