120 slide projector

[Erik L]

so i see this one is cheap on ebay. http://www.obsoletemedia.com/projectors/bandl755/manual.htm

can anyone tell me if this is a good unit and why is it 1/10 the price of anything else thats 120? sure it looks *very* old but perhaps its made to last?
also i won this one, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=290323930737 so i can keep the 120 stuff seperate.

well i won it, item number 260431299755
still seems like a too good to be true deal, as no one else bid

Very sorry to not see this note earlier. My gut tells me shipping costs. These suckers are heavy.

shipping was $39

 

[BillBingham2]

A very good deal for you. Not a lot of call for these, though I have to say I love 120 'Cromes. They have a similar feeling of richness because of the size perhaps. I was really expecting shipping anywhere to be in $80's to start with. Where do you live?

well done, now all you have to do is convince family and friends to sit down and watch your slide show 😀

The next challenge might be a tray? The mechanism looks very "Airequipt-ish" so you may have some luck there.

i got it today, im cleaning the non projector lenses (very cloudy) by the bulb and they are some fingerprints that wont come off. these are not coated, what should i use to clean them? regular lens cleaning agent isnt having any affect.

edit compared the Rollei this is about the same construction, heavy die cast aluminum. the lens is similar quality!
its in great shape, not a scratch anywhere on the unit. feels like a good purchase, wish i had the 5" lens described in the manual as well.
