- Description
- A large, heavy 16mm Cine Projector incased within a black leather case, missing the reel arms and reels. The case features a lid with a black covered wood handle and two latches on the slimmer ends. Once unattached the interior of lid features a black cardboard label with white writing that reads “The Sole Canadian Distributor of this VICTOR SOUND ON FILM PROJECTOR is GENERAL FILMS LIMITED” then a horizontal list of Canadian cities of where offices are, where one would be able to get minor repairs and adjustment or service. Underneath the lid, the projector remains mostly concealed with a few cut-outs in the top where we can see parts of the projector such as the lights, a space where the reel arms would attach, the top of the fan, and another latch in the middle. Once the latch is open the one side of the case folds out. Once this is open the main body of the projector is revealed. There is various switches, projector lens, the track for the film reel, and the animatophone (for sound). Along the body of the projector fan is a metal label with gold writing and border, on the top is the Victor Logo ( a circle with a scroll above it), the text underneath reads “16mm CINE’ PROJECTOR”, in fine text “FOR USE WITH SLOW-BURNING ONLY”, in slightly larger text “Made in U.S.A. by VICTOR ANIMATOGRAPH CORPORATION DAVENPORT, IOWA”, “100 TO 120 VOLTS”, a gold rectangle stamped with “950” “WATTS”, “SERIAL NUMBER”, a gold rectangle stamped “116230”, “LAMP WATTAGE”, a gold rectangle stamped “750” “MAX.”, “MODEL”, and a gold rectangle stamped “40”. The three switches read “OFF REWIND”, “OFF PROJECT”, and “SILENT SPEED SOUND SPEED”. On the slimmer ends of the case, there are cut-outs for access to controls and plug-ins. The side where the projection would project has one spot for “P.E.C. VOLTAGE”, a knob for the “MICROPHONE”, a plug-in for “MICROPHONE”, and another plug-in for “PHONO”. On the opposite end, is a switch “OFF EXCITER”, two knobs “VOLUME” and “TONE”, a small protruding box with indecipherable text, a circular power cord to be plugged in, and two slots. Inside the case, is three pieces of instructional papers. One is an operation and care of manual, another a maintenance record template and information, and an operating instructions for the projector.
