Hi, I am new to here, so i'm not sure how this all works yet, but getting there. I am seeing if anybody out there know's much about old movie projector's they used in theatre's years ago, when you had to make up the picture by splicing and threading the projector etc, and the reason being, that my Dad worked in this industry for most of his life. He is a Hoyt's Pioneer, and knew a lot about movie projector's, as well as his many friends he had in the industry. Sadly, now day's, he is in a nursing home with Dementia, and i have a few things like an old, but i think, functioning head off an old projector, and it appears very old, and a few funny looking Lens's, however, being technically challenged, i am not sure how to put pics on here, but could ask one of the Grand kid's i suppose, they are sure to know. There is also two old reals of movies, maybe 16mm or 8mm, not sure. Anybody else know much about these thing's? A couple of the Lens's are of a Schneider Brand, one is a Cine-xenon MC, Code 37 532. Anyway, if someone who is a bit knowledgeable about these thing's, i would like to hear from you. Thanks. Chris
Hi, A little while ago I had the job of reconing a couple of vintage field coil theater speaker drivers from the 1930s, one was a ERPI TA-4181-A (made in USA)
and the other a Raycophone type 10 (Australian made).
But anyway, they belong to a person who has a working vintage theater projector set up, in his shed🙂
He has a copy of the projectionists manual, called the F.H. Richardsons bluebook of projection, which he uses to set up and maintain his equipment.
It is available to view in the archive site linked below, hopefully it might have the information you need.

Thanks Arthur, I too have a friend that has a big shed theatre in his back yard. Genuine old projector's out of old theatre's, Peerless etc, with opening curtains, foot lights, the lot. Takes up most of the back yard, but can't get hold of him these days, and don't know where he is. Anyway, when i get more info, i'll let you know. Thanks again, Chris.
