This is only the projecting head missing parts.  The Edison Kinetoscope came 
in a protective carrying case that folds open and bolts down onto the 
lamphouse board.  The hand-cranked machine was part of a traveling tent show 
cinema 
outfit.  One reason they don't show up with great regularity is that often they 
were licensed to exhibitors and leased but not sold.  The oak case came as 
part of the outfit but is often lost.
 
A complete projection head should have the takeup reel arm, feed reel arm, 
varous focal length lens to account for throw, and the hand crank to operate 
the 
head.  The lamphouse was generally a carbon arc which on a deluxe system 
could be shifted to one side so the light would go through glass slides and a 
second lens.  Slides were a show in themselves with announcements like "Ladies 
and 
Gentlemen - please remove your hats so those in back of you may see the 
presentation!"

We are alive, well and in business!

Since we lost almost all of our music box spring steel during the flood of 
2006, we do not offer much in the way of custom replacement springs for 
music boxes, as we do not intend to restock all those odd sizes. Some may 
inquire with the size needed, so we might determine if it is one that we can

provide. (The phono steel was on benches \and shelves)

We are still in full swing business with the phonograph repairs, parts & 
services, with a very quick turn time at this time of year.
