F/S 35mm portable projector, Microcine Xenon 500 XRCL

[Chris Bird]

I've been asked by Patrick Moules, who is sorting out Martyn Stevens' collection, to advertise this on the forum. It is a portable 35mm projector, with a capacity of 6000' (I think), Microcine Xenon 500 XRCL. Two lenses are included. Collection would be from Leighton Buzzard, and it's on the second floor of a house, so you'd need at least two strong people and a large car or small van. But it's a nice machine - I can remember Martyn running me films on this. As far as we know it's all complete and working, but the buyer would obviously be free to check this before money changes hands. If anyone interested PMs me, I will give them Patrick's phone number, and they can discuss with him. Here are some pictures I shot of the machine yesterday.

Price: £750

Wow,

What a beauty!!! IF I lived in UK I would be after that like a rat up a drain pipe.

Its a 6000 foot reel adapter with a couple of torque motors to wind film onto the take-up and rewind if required.
I think the maker in Italy is still making those to special order at way above the 750 UK Pounds price so its a snip to some lucky beggar.

Is the projector still for sale? Thank you

[Chris Bird]

Hi Mark. I believe it it. I've sent you a PM with Patrick's contact details.

Did this sell? Such a lovely machine.
