- Description
- Portable RCA [Radio Corporation of America] Model 400 16mm Sound Film Projector. It is surrounded in a case, with a perforated metal square on one side of the case and blue plastic and metal handle at the top, alongside a metal plate with text that reads “16mm SOUND FILM PROJECTOR” “MODEL 400” and some more text about the projector itself. 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. The main bulk of the projector consists of blue metal divided into various parts where the motor is 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. The power cord is stored underneath the main bulk in a store of shelf. Inside the removable cover is a ho-to diagram of how to thread and rewind the film reels. Underneath is a how-to to store a reel and the arms inside the case. The arms are secured in two metal brackets and leather straps. This side of the case is also where the speaker is housed - in the bottom left corner. There is also a small bottle of oil for the projector set in the case. The reel that is stored in this section is smaller and has the speaker/microphone cord wrapped around it.
