Made in Switzerland, this vintage Bolex Paillard 18-5 Standard 8mm movie projector is a beautifully engineered example of classic Swiss craftsmanship. It includes the original Bolex Paillard carrying case and original power cord, making it an attractive package for collectors, film enthusiasts, or vintage display.
The projector has been tested for power only. It powers on successfully, the projection lamp illuminates, and the motor/fan operates smoothly. Since I do not have Standard 8mm film available for testing, no film playback or projection performance testing has been performed.
Please review all photographs and the included video carefully, as they are an important part of the description.
The projector is in very nice overall vintage cosmetic condition.
Included is the original Bolex Paillard Switzerland carrying case.
This projector has only been tested to power on and illuminate. Because I do not have Standard 8mm film available, it has not been tested for film transport or projection performance and is being sold accordingly.
Your projector will be carefully packed to help ensure safe arrival.
The projector and original carrying case will be wrapped separately inside the shipping carton to help prevent movement during transit. Plenty of cushioning material will be used to protect both the projector and the vintage case.
