- Portable RCA [Radio Corporation of America] Model 400 16mm sound film projector and amplifier. The main bulk of the projector consists of blue metal divided into various parts where the motor is, the light bulb [set into a section that can fold away from the body], and the exposed mounting mechanism where the reels sit. Throughout the face are various black plastic and metal switches and knobs to control the projector. On top of the main body is a handle to carry it, on both short sides are metal clasps that hold the case cover in place, and on the bottom are four rubber feet to keep the projector off the table - on the back is an opening in the cover to expose a power outlet and an import for the audio cable. A projector cable how-to diagram is adhered to the inside of the removable cover above two black elastic loops that possibly held spare parts.The external speaker is in its own grey-green travel case with a handle on top and a hinged back that opens to expose the back of the speaker [fronted by a grille on the main body of the case] and storage space. Inside the case is the power cable and audio cable, two spare light bulbs in their original cardboard boxes [one box is empty], and the two support arms for the reels.
