This is a Keystone Model K100 Regular 8mm movie projector made by the well-known Keystone Camera Company of Boston, Mass. This company made top-of-the-line camera and projector equipment for many years.
This projector will only play the older Regular 8mm movie film. It will not play the more modern Super 8mm movies from the 1970's.

A Super 8mm projector or a Dual 8 projector is needed to play Super 8mm films.
This projector has been serviced and it is running properly. The light is bright. The film will self thread through the sprockets, but you have to attach the film manually to the take-up reel. There is a 7 inch take-up reel that comes with this projector and it is mounted under the projector for safe storage. Simply remove it and slip it on the take-up post (left post).
The knob is missing from the front adjustable feet which allows one to raise or lower the projector for aiming at a movie screen. The knob has been replaced with a screw that will fit any screw driver which is a great fix for the missing knob.
This machine has a fast/slow speed control knob in the center of the forward/reverse control knob. To be able to control the speed of the projector is a perfect feature for help in converting those old movies to DVD videos as you can get rid of the bar syndrome in your video camera by running the projector faster or slower. Most old 8mm projectors to not have this feature so Keystone was way ahead of their time on this feature for sure.
This projector is great for playing your Dad's old Regular 8mm home movies from the 1950's and early 60's. The case is metal as is most of the projector. It has a forward, reverse and a zoom lens. This particular machine is in excellent condition and appears to have been used very little.
The projector measures 12 inches tall by 10 inches wide and 8 inches deep. The bulb is good and bright and should it burn out you can most likely find one in this store as I have a large selection of bulbs for these old projectors. You can find them under the PROJECTOR LIGHT BULBS category from the main index.
