I did a workshop with Alex and he showed us his 'wooden lightbox'. IIRC he took
an old Pageant projector, gutted then motor, rewired the lamp for a lower
wattage and then connected a rewind crank to the projector's drive shaft. He
can get about 8fps with his setup and can run the film backwards and forwards
with ease.

Hey Kevin,
I seem to recall that Alex MacKenzie used a hand-cranked projector for a
performance called "the wooden lightbox: a secret art of seeing" at last year's
(2011) Crossroads Film Festival. I think Alex made the projector himself so
maybe he can be a resource for you: www.alexmackenzie.com
Good luck!
