Simplex SP Portable 35mm Motion Picture Film Projector Survivor 1935 Movie Nice!.<br>This is a rare Simplex SP portable projector. It is an early sound machine. It dates from the mid 30’s. It is in fantastic shape for its age. I do not believe it was used much. As you can see the inside of the reel magazines are not scratched from bent reels. The leather covering is in nice shape. One thing that is very difficult to find is the bluing on the lamp to be in this condition. Typically the heat from the arc would burn it off and you would have rusted tin.<br>This projector comes with two lamp houses. The low intensity carbon arc and an incandescent which could be used on a smaller screen. I included a picture of it as well but not installed.<br>What I feel is special is that this machine is capable of running 4000’ reels. At this period of time 2000’ was the norm and what was used in every movie theater. This is the first large magazine of this time period I have encountered. The rewind is also special as it will accommodate these larger reels. The one in the photo I put in there for reference. It is a 1000’ 10” reel. I am sure this was done so that the reel did not need to be changed every 15 mins.<br>The projector breaks down into a number of pieces. I have the shipping cases custom made for each item. I suggest that we use them for packing. Then they all could be put on a pallet for shipping. Total weight will probably be around 350 pounds.<br>Included is the following:<br>Projector<br>Upper and lower Magazines<br>Pedestal<br>Arc lamp and rectifier<br>Incandescent lamp<br>Rewinds<br>Neumade splicer<br>Flat lens (2 different sizes)<br>3000’ reel<br>Shipping cases<br>No sound items included<br>I will ship this to the lower 48 states at my cost. I will cap the freight charges at $400.00. Beyond that you will need to assist.<br>You are welcome to pick this up, but if that is not practical I can pack it on a pallet. I can get you a quote with a zip code.<br>I oiled the machine up and it ran just as it should. It did leak the oil out over a period of days. It maybe the gasket on the drain that has dried. That’s an easy fix. If it is the main gasket that will require a larger effort. It depends what your plans are for it. Great display item. You can run film on it. I actually did.<br>Because of the age of this machine it is sold as is.<br>Let me know if you have any questions<br>Thanks
