Pathescope Kid 9.5mm projector

Pathescope Kid 9.5mm projector

Light house cover missing, incomplete. Possibly later model as dynamo power house is larger and beneath the projector. We think it is c.1929 as that is when cheaper Kid projectors were introduced with 20v bulbs (10w). 20v bulb in tact but electrics cut, rewiring required. This had a 20 volt 10 watt lamp fed via an external cylindrical resistance adjustable for all voltages between 110 and 250 volts, and an enclosed, slot-type gate into which the end of the film was fed and the handle turned for threading. It was suitable for notched films, stopping itself at notches, though it did not automatically re-start after a still title - it was necessary to trip a lever for this. The enclosed gate made cleaning rather difficult, and there was a therefore a strong tendency for the machine to scratch films. Price was £2-15sh.
