35mm Film Projectors For Sale

November 2003 Update: Due to underwhelming response and storage problems, the following items originally described below were dumped and are no longer available: lamphouses, rectifiers, bases, spiders, exchange reels, wood bases, exhaust fan.

A complete 35mm dual changeover projection booth, suitable for a private screening room. Virtually everything including wiring is included. All you need is sound equipment, a 110VAC circuit for the motors and a 220 VAC circuit for the lamps. Everything was overhauled for private use in the early 1980s, with many parts replaced as needed, screws and gadgets acquired, etc. to make 2 complete, nice matching units. In use until 1985, then put into storage.

2 Simplex E-7 oblique shaft projectors (front shutters removed as usual) with 3-bladed rear shutters. Thoroughly overhauled and used for several years before storing, with intermittants overhauled with new LaVezzi VKF sprockets. Nice external black wrinkle redone as needed. Interior not repainted, just cleaned. Panatar anamorphic mount installed.
2 Motiograph SH-7500 soundheads (aluminum version). Completely rebuilt in 1985 with new bearings, a complete paint job (black wrinkle outside to match the E-7s, white epoxy inside, with black pad roller handles and inching knob. Original chain drive to Simplex. Photocell (PEC) and hardware removed, and a Kelmar mono solar cell installed.
2 Strong Utility 1kW carbon arc lamphouses with rectifiers retrofitted with silicon diodes and wired for single phase 220 VAC. Each rectifier has a retrofitted AC line switch on/off.
1 dual lamphouse venting assembly, with 4 inch dryer ducting, steel T and elbows, and electric exhaust fan. I would replace the plastic dryer duct with flexible metal type.
2 upper 2000ft. magazine spiders with ding-bell end-of-reel alarms. Warped discs from other warning bell system does not affect operation.
2 lower 2000ft. magazine spiders. Leather round belts to soundhead pulley could be replaced with urethane.
1 homemade dual exciter lamp supply. 2 separate unregulated 12 volt DC simple power supplies in one steel box. Separate AC switches and fuses for each supply. I used it to also power the Simplex framing bulbs.
2 Weaver changeover units with all 110VAC wiring and pushbuttons in a box for changeover.
Wiring assemblies for motor operation; steel boxes with 110VAC switches wired with standard line plugs and sockets. 1 single switch for left projector and a pair of "3-way" switches for the other projector so you can run it from either side. Just wire a standard line cord to each sound head motor and plug into these assemblies.
2 Panavision Super Panatar anamorphic attachments. 2 layers of "correction plates" were mounted on each lens to try to get them to focus at screening room distances, but it's not very good. These are dirty, too, and may require disassembly for cleaning.
2 Kollmorgen Super Snaplite 2 inch f1.7, one lens has a light star.
2 Kollmorgen Super Snaplite 2.75 inch f1.9
179 each 7mm x 14" positive carbons; 145 each 6mm x 9" negative carbons, stored separately in home environment.
misc. AC hardware - duplex boxes, switches, AC sockets, etc.
misc hardware - NIB fire rollers, nuts, bolts, lens supports, etc.
15 Goldberg cast house reels, 2000ft. Used, good condition.
14 dingy steel exchange reels, 2000ft.; 6 1000ft. exchange reels.
Copies of original operation, parts and service documentation included.

The Photos.

This is the pair of projectors as stored. They were bagged in plastic, but the room was often damp. Simple plywood box bases elevated the projectors as high as possible in former set up. Tripod bases allow putting rectifiers under lamphouses. You can also rotate the whole mechanism.
