1920s default

Last weekends visit to the car boot sale prompted probably my most interesting purchase of an item, a film projector from the 1920s. I am quickly learning that according the sellers at these sales, anything that looks old and vintage is from the 1920s. 

My original plan was to take it to bits and get the cogs, handles and bulb dismantled for re-mantling elsewhere. However I've kind of fallen for it as it is and it makes a good piece on its own. I guess we'll see how desperate I get for the bits.

I'd love to get it working but not only is the power connections 2pin and ancient, but it's American too, which evidently means something along the line would blow up if I did manage to connect it to the mains.
