Paillard Bolex 18-5 8mm movie projector w/ take-up reel

This projector is for 8mm movies (regular 8 or double 8mm). It does not work with later Super 8 movies. If you're unsure which type of films you own, click here to see a diagram that shows the difference. 

The projector is in very good running condition with a working lamp. It's in very good cosmetic condition (see photos) with the most noteworthy flaw being a missing logo decal from the outer case. 

• Original power cord
• A working CXR lamp
  
• 20mm f1.3 Bolex "Hi-Fi" lens (made in Switzerland)
• Metal takeup reel with case
