Comments[edit]

The projector has a built-in 12 inch rear screen, or it can be used to project on to an independent screen or wall. A swing away mirror near the projection lens can direct the image to either the built-in "rear screen" or straight out the front of the projector like a conventional projector.

There have been three models:

  1. 110/115 V AC, 50 Hz (110V model)
  2. 110 to 250 V AC, 50 Hz, 300 W (multi-current model)
  3. 110 to 250 V AC, 50/60 Hz, 300 W (multi-current "auto cycle switch" model)

Early projector models are made in Norway and later models are made in the USA. The nameplate above the swing out mirror will state where the projector was manufactured. American made projectors have an autostop defeat toggle switch, a fuseholder above the swing away mirror, and a 1/8" mono external speaker jack. Norway made machines have a two pin DIN connector for a speaker jack. The amplifier circuit boards in all versions are plug in style with a swing away retainer holding the board into the connector for easy replacement.
