This listing is for a vintage/antique Eastman Kodak Kodascope model B 16mm projector. It comes in the original case with several accessories. The projector appears to be in good condition overall with some wear from use including some chips in the outer material on the plug. We did a brief test and it appeared to run normally, but we didn't have film with which we could perform a more thorough test. The case and accessories are well-worn from age and use. Please see the photos below to see everything that is included, and contact us with any questions before bidding. We have a low opening bid and no reserve price so don't miss your chance to win!

"This is a self-threading cine projector for silent 16mm film. It appeared five years after the first 16mm projector, the Kodascope (later, Kodascope A) and was just as different as the Cine-Kodak B camera had been from the first Cine-Kodak. The position of the spools was changed to the top and back, rather than top and bottom. Also this was Kodak's first self-threading projector.
"The projector takes up to 400 feet of 16mm film, it can run films backwards, and has a still-picture device."
