Description
A Cinevox "Prefect" 16mm Sound Projector enclosed in a black fabric covered wooden case. Hinged at the base, one side of the wooden case opens and lays flat to reveal the projector in situ in the other half of the case, which remains standing upright. The case has a leather handle attached to the top with metal stirrups. Each of the 8 corners of the case has been reinforced with metal protectors.
The accompanying transformer unit has 2 electrical cords. One is for connection to a wall outlet; the other cord connects the transformer to the projector. The transformer is housed in a grey metal case which has 6 horizontal vents on each of the 4 sides.
Both the projector and the transformer units are extremely heavy for their size, but portable. There is an accompanying 48 page instruction manual for the projector.
This projector was used to show movies at local halls in Coramba and North Beach.
