I'm looking for information on this item I have. I have owned it for several years. It is all contained in a wooden chest type box about +2 feet LxWxH (square cube) with strap handles like a trunk. Inside is a projector and a turntable for a large 78 rpm record (I think 78). The records are close to 2' in diameter and stand inside the case for storage. The turntable has its own amplifier and there are a series of short films that you put in the projector and move to the next frame by hand at the appropriate moment of the record. The films are contained each in their own little metal canister about 2" in diameter and about the same in height. The record contains both speech and music for the films. I'm just wondering how common these are and what you might know about them. I have only seen one other similar outfit which was much more compact (modern if you will).
