16MM SILENT

Separate pages will be created for those machines or brands on which I have more than basic information. Clisk on the links below.

Agfa

An Agfa Movector - thees projecteur I know from nuutheenk.

Below is an Agfa Movector Domestino. The one I have is a very sorry little thing, that was jammed when I got it. It took a lot of effort to get it apart and then I found it would not go together again, the problem, of course, being the dreaded Mazsac. I also found while I was in there that part of the drive train used rubber rollers which, as you will have guessed, have deterorated  and would be very difficult to replace.

Ampro

Here are a couple of Ampro silents. You can see the line of devlopment to sound, if "very little change" can be called development. The only reason anyone mite buy the silent in pic 2 was in the expectation of converting to sound.

However, you do not want to read me on Ampro's. What you want to do is go to a website Chris Bird led me to:-

https://www.madeinchicagomuseum.com/single-post/ampro-corp. This looks to be a fabulous way to learn about Ampro machines.

 

Ensign

This first projector is a 16mm-only version of a projector that will also be covered in multi-gauge when I get there, as it was available as a three-gauge model.

Next is a machine of which the late Bill Kilgour sent me pictures, followed by some claw pix from Bill's machine and my SS16 for comparison.

Keystone seems to have been a fairly proific maker, but more in the States than here, I think. Kalee were of course a major player in the 35mm market. This 16mm model seems to have been pretty much a direct clone of a Victor machine.

Another of those elusive DeVry machines, including in pic 2 an optimistic eBay posting of a vet battered bit of tat.
