Please also see my other listing for the Bolex Paillard Auto-Cine B 16mm camera that was used by the owner of this projector.
A working BOLEX PAILLARD Model C projector, for 16mm (and 9.5mm) film. Serial number: 2124 With: A 35mm and a 45mm f1.9 lens, with both Bolex Paillard (Geneve/Suisse) and Hermagis (Paris) branding. Original transformer/voltage converter currently set up for 240v to 110v. Two sets of leads; one has wooden fittings and is switched, it plugs into a light fitting, use the switch to turn on the projector and the light goes out, but this one needs rewiring. An original Bolex reel, in its case, with super label. Original winding handle in place. Two sets of cogs/film gates. Although most sources show that the Model C was a 16mm projector this one also came with a 9.5mm cog and film gate that are easy to interchange. The film spindles however do not seem to be interchangeable, so you would have to use a 9.5mm film reel with square peg hole, and I do not know if these exist.... or I am missing something...be it a spindle or appropriate knowledge. No instructions with this projector, they are available for free online. A wooden base with a thick red felt (or similar) cushion. The wooden base did have an asbestos fabric sheet pinned to it, this has been removed and a loose modern replacement piece of heat resistant material is included. The projector comes in a branded case. The projector is tested working with 16mm film......see video and photos below. This is the most beautiful Bolex projector I have ever seen. In working condition and with an unusual elephant skin paint finish I will consider serious offers.......otherwise THIS WILL GO TO A NO RESERVE AUCTION in ONE WEEK. See its partner Auto-Cine B camera in a parallel listing. Please note that I do not give partial refunds. That shipping is as shown.....if your country is not available ask BEFORE bidding because even neighbouring countries have shipping costs that can VARY CONSIDERABLY.
