  I'm attempting to sort out my office/storeroom and I need to clear some space. If anyone wants it, the epidiascope shown below is free to a good home, it even has a spare lamp.
  
  It was stored in damp conditions once and does pong a bit when first switched on.
  
  I have no idea how old it is but suspect 1920/1930.

  That looks pretty unique there Terry. quite a machine and quite a whopper. I wonder if a museum would be interested in it. Even Dover Museum if they have the space. It looks like a rare object.
