Mills Panoram 16mm Soundie Machine At Ebay Auction, No Reserve

[Joe Vinikow]

Vintage Mills Panoram Soundie Movie Jukebox. This rare original coin operated rear projection movie jukebox was manufactured by Mills Amusement of Chicago in the early 1940s for the RCM Soundie Corporation, and was used to show single selection 16mm musical short subjects in bars, arcades, and other amusement locations. Originally found in Everett, WA, this unit is #213, and has been carefully stored for over half a century. An excellent restoration project, the machine has a solid wooden cabinet with handsome walnut veneer, vented top dome, internal rear projection mirrors, coin box, and is supplied with two original Panoram RCA 16mm rear projector units, with original lenses. Continuous loop reel (holds 8 selections), banner hardware, amplifier and speakers are not included. Photos and details here, thanks for looking: https://www.ebay.com/itm/126166066845
