This machine looks realy nice - it has even the right size for home usage^^. I am not familiar with those so I hope you will excuse me asking you two foolish questions.
For the first I wonder about the luminous intensity - it doesn't look like it's using a Xenon - or is it?
And secondly does this projector run just with AC power connection / does it require no external rectifier?
@goldoderblut This particular machine uses a 1000 watt incandescent lamp in the rear of the machine which is set at 90 degrees to the film path, it uses mirrors to guide the light through the film and lens. Originally this machine took very large and rare globes, but has been changed to run on more common ones.
The projector is powered via normal (Australian) 240V mains supply. Originally one cable could power the whole machine, but this one has been modified to take an external exciter supply.
Hey Vulpyro, the sound is recorded as an optical representation of the sound, like a long thin waveform that runs along the side of the picture. A light shines through it and onto a solar cell, converting it into sound.

I love Air. :3 How does it read the sound? Is it a magnetic strip on the film?
