Up for auction is a vintage Bolex 18-5 Super 8mm Projector. This projector came from the home of a local artist, photographer and film maker. He had several projectors, including 8mm and 16mm. All were in clean, working condition. This projector is missing the power cord, however, so it is untested and I can’t guarantee performance. There are apparently some workarounds to create compatible cords for these, but I’m not a good engineer and will leave that up to the new owner. This projector is very clean and well maintained (see photos).

Please keep in mind that before bidding on an antique or vintage item, the item is not brand new, or in the same condition it would be if it were new out of the factory or brand new from a store unless specified as "mint" condition. Vintage and antique items frequently show some degree of wear or patina due to age.
