Vintage SVE School Master SM-1 35mm Roll Film Filmstrip Slide Projector w/Case and Bulb, Works
The SVE Schoolmaster Model SM-1 (No. 1165) is a vintage 1940s dual-purpose projector made by the Society for Visual Education (SVE) in Chicago, USA (later acquired by Graflex.) It was built to project both 2\" x 2\" glass or cardboard-mounted photographic slides and 35mm filmstrips for classrooms and community education.
It runs on 115 volts, draws 315 watts, and accepts up to a 300-watt maximum incandescent projection lamp. This item does Include a working Sylvania CLS 300W 120V bulb. (Hours on the bulb are unknown.)
Lens: SVE Coated Anastig 5\" f 3.5 Lens
Condition:
The unit has been tested and works correctly - plugging it in starts the fan automatically, then flipping the switch to \"on\" turns on the projecting light. (The fan runs continuously and is not thermostatically controlled. It starts a little slow then quickly reaches optimum speed and may need lubricated.)
The glass is good. Clear, no scratches. Has all 4 rubber feet. Elevation lever works. The film advancing knobs turn.
One of the small knobs for the slide projector doors is missing, but door does slide up and down. (See photo.)
The hard carrying case is in rough condition - the end edge on the bottom is broken off so can\'t be latched from that side. (That latch is present.)
The projector for sale does NOT have the 2\" x 2\" slide carrier. The cord plug is original and needs replaced. Other minor cosmetic imperfections as a whole commensurate with age, normal use and storage.
