Glad my Epis 1000mm/f3.5 and 1300mm/4.8 are not that
heavy/inconvenient to handle....:))
(although both the Large Lecture Hall Epidiascope's behind them exceed
this Elmer-Perkin's 200lbs by at least a factor 4....8-))
(and another 400lbs for the 380v->110v oil-cooled
transformator,feeding its 4+1x 1500W or 6+1x 1000W lightbulbs)
(but then again, most of these projectors came factory with 4
wheels....though a set of *steering* wheels was again totally
optional....8-))
(also meaning that those without *any* wheels (cast into a concrete
fundament!) were all scrapped in recent decades, AFAIK....of those,
only some of the upper Diascope units survived, sometimes even only
the lenses (yet sometimes not even those, as I learned last year from
a case in Austria; sick government policy, mandatory destruction, no
sale to public....8-((((
Willem
(still looking for a complete Roentgen version of that projector, with
a Diascope 'under-table' that allows slide projection up to
A4-size....the regular Diascope only covers 9x12cm/4x5"....:))
Jan
(years ago, I did manage to find the condensor lens of that beast,
about 55cm diameter....but again, the rest of the projector was
already scrapped, about a decade before, so no chance of finding any
further remaining/complimentary parts....:((
(sometime later, I missed the opportunity to score another of those
condensors, so my ultimate plan to use 2 together for
stereo-projection of 6x24cm panorama-slides went uo in smoke, for the
foreseeable future....;((
