It consists of two large reel housings, lens, electrified light housing, slide bar, and the three original adjustable knobs that control the intensity of the light source, all mounted to a wooden base supported by four telescoping legs (replacements for the originals).The electric light source no longer functions, but the hand-crank still turns smoothly. The camera no longer attaches to the base; otherwise, the projector is in overall Fine condition. Previously auctioned through Profiles in History in 2002. Requires third party shipping.Auction Info
