I have this great Bell & Howell Filmo 151A Picture Master 8mm Projector.
This is a rare old 8 mm movie projector that is in absolutely excellent condition.
It was first made in 1943 in the U.S.
It is built like an iron horse.
I acquired it years ago from an elderly neighbor who said he no longer had any use for it.
It comes in its original carrying case with the power cord, 7 inch take-up reel, and has an extra bulb.
It is more like a commercial movie projector than a home movie projector.
These models are becoming very collectible as they are so well-made.
Some of the controls it has are as follows:
Variable Speed Control
Forward/Reverse Switch
Reading Light Switch
Fast Rewind
Removable Lens for Cleaning
Lens Focus Knob
Tracking Control Knob
Tilt Control
Clutch IN/Out Lever
Separate Projector On/Off Switch
Separate Motor ON/Off Switch
7 inch take-up reel
extra projection bulb
I have not tested the projector with film, but all the lights come on and the motor runs.
I read that people are using these projectors to transfer old movies to DVD.
It is my understanding that this projector can not be used with the newer Super 8 film.
IT WOULD ALSO BE AN AWESOME DECORATIVE PIECE FOR YOUR HOME!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm asking $125.00 OBO
CAsh only please.
It is truly hard to put a price on such a unique vintage piece.
This has always been stored inside the home in a closet.
Please call me to see this at

THIS AD WILL BE REMOVED WHEN THE ITEM IS SOLD
