I've managed to save two Pathescope Home Talkie projectors recently, they are both incomplete and need parts in order to revive them. The better (and more complete) one of the two requires a projection lamp holder which should be easily identified by having a three-pronged bayonet socket. This example is otherwise complete and original. The worse machine is missing the entire rear lamp housing but again, it is otherwise complete. I have nothing such as storage cases or a speaker for these projectors so I'd also be interested in any of these too.
I understand that these projectors are quite scarce and spares equally so but if anybody can assist, or if any of our members in France can help by asking any known fellow Pathe enthusiasts and help to spread the word then that would be great. It would be amazing to save both of these machines and return them to working condition, at worst I can fabricate a new lamp fitting for the better machine but the less complete example will be difficult to do anything with unless a complete lamp housing can be sourced.
Also, if anybody can photograph the lamp holder assembly then I'd appreciate the help, if I have to make a replica then I'd like to make it as close to the original as possible.
