I used it for a few years in the 80s, but it has pretty much been sitting in a closet for the last 20 years or so and I've gone digital at this point. It was a great machine in its day. Features: remote w/forward-reverse-focus; 2 settings of lamp brightness; separate switches for fan and lamp so you can run the fan after you switch the lamp off to cool it; one rear leg is adjustable for leveling; the height adjusting leg in front operates on a one- touch button; 3-prong, retracting 9" + power cord; lens is labeled "Leitz Wetzlar Colorplan CF 2.5/90 mm." Unfortunately, the most handy feature, the auto-focus, seems to have quit since I last used it (I tried it out today). My question to you folks is this: is this projector worth anything to anyone, or should I just give it to Goodwill? I appreciate any opinions... thanks.
