Author Topic: Please Identify This Lamphouse Demetris Thoupis Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1240 From: Aradippou, Larnaca, Cyprus Registered: Apr 2001 posted 04-13-2009 03:38 AM                     Ok I've been browsing the internet last night and came up to this beauty. Its a V4 on a custom pedestal and I would like someone to identify the lamphouse on it It can easily be a Kinoton but I am not sure. Any Ideas? The resizing really cracked the image.

There are a lot made here 25 or so years ago, converting older projectors to xenon arc. Like this one: C.  |  IP: Logged Demetris Thoupis Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1240 From: Aradippou, Larnaca, Cyprus Registered: Apr 2001 posted 04-13-2009 05:58 AM                     I also have made custom made lamphouses but the design looks a bit like a Kinoton lamphouse. Christos is that a Microtechnica projector in that picture?  |  IP: Logged Christos Mitsakis Expert Film Handler Posts: 242 From: Ag.Paraskevi, ATHENS, GREECE Registered: Sep 1999 posted 04-13-2009 06:19 AM                     Zeiss Ernemann X. At the back is an Ernemann VIII.  |  IP: Logged Demetris Thoupis Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1240 From: Aradippou, Larnaca, Cyprus Registered: Apr 2001 posted 04-13-2009 07:11 AM                     I really admired the paint job on this V4 as well as how everything looks new. Of course I would go witha Cinemeccanica turret instead of that.  |  IP: Logged Paavo Mardi Film Handler Posts: 27 From: Tartu / Estonia Registered: Sep 2008 posted 04-13-2009 07:40 AM                     I have a question about a projector too. On the picture is a soviet 23KPK. As I know, most soviet machines were copyed. Does this projector look familiar to anybody?  |  IP: Logged Boris Brown Film Handler Posts: 7 From: New York City, NY, US Registered: Dec 2008 posted 04-30-2009 05:19 PM                     Don't look a gift horse in the mouth  |  IP: Logged Dan Reiter Film Handler Posts: 74 From: Easton PA Registered: Jul 2002 posted 05-14-2009 08:13 AM                     Paavo, The projector looks like a Prevost (P93?) It's an italian projector.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-14-2009 08:47 AM                     It looks like a copy of an ernamann 9  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-14-2009 12:24 PM                     That is an interesting turret on that V9  |  IP: Logged Demetris Thoupis Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1240 From: Aradippou, Larnaca, Cyprus Registered: Apr 2001 posted 05-15-2009 06:46 AM                     It's a V4! From what it seems it looks like a Fedi replica. What Fedi did with the Lens turret actually included both lenses mounted on a same axle and one could be swapped with the other by pushing either both lenses up or both lenses down. (one replaced the other). I don't know why they did not use the Cinemeccanica turret.

As for CCCP 233KPK, I don't think is made from Prevost, because KPK has reverse scan, curved gates and so....as I did have hear they were "good" machines with steady picture. I belive design in from them, as they did made a who knows how many, they did have film industry in cold war, and they made everything alone by themselves....  |  IP: Logged
