　　This vintage Bell & Howell Auto Load Projector Model 254 RA has the Frame lever and a switch on the bottom front of the machine that has Lamp, Motor and Off. The lamp needs a new bulb. Everything seems to work as it should except for the bulb which should still be available on line. This great machine has a forward/Reverse lever right on the console. The film mechanism is self-threading through the film track and then you attach it manually to the take-up reel.

　　The unit is compact and has the metal lid with a push-button that opens the projector when depressed. The unit measures approximately 12 inches tall by 8.5 inches wide and 8.5 inches deep. It is a heavy, just over 12 pounds, well built projector and is the Iron Horse of the 8mm movie projectors of the 1950's.

　　his projector is in vintage used condition. Take a close look at the photos and I think you will agree this is a clean unit for its age.

　　I'll see if I can find the metal take up movie reel/s that come with the projector.
