Rollei P11 Universal slide projector in good condition and tested and working, featuring the original zoom lens Rollei Heidosmat-Vario 110-160mm f/3.5.
Description from the seller
Up for auction: an exceptional and legendary professional two-pass slide projector: the Rollei P11 (also known as the Rollei P11 Universal Projector), designed and manufactured in Germany by Franke & Heidecke. This extraordinary and robust metal device represents a milestone in optical engineering as it is a dual/two-pass model, designed to project either classic 35mm format slides (5x5 frames) or 6x6 cm medium-format slides (7x7 frames) using two separate feed rails. Equipped in this configuration with the prestigious and expensive original high-luminosity constant zoom lens, it represents the ultimate system sought by analog medium-format enthusiasts for large-screen projection.
The lot presents in good overall condition, tested and working, complete with rare accessories, the premium zoom optics, and the original manual in Italian.
Optics: The projector is equipped with the excellent original Rollei Heidosmat-Vario 110-160mm f/3.5 zoom lens, which allows millimetric adjustment of the image size on the wall without having to move the projector physically. The lenses are in good condition. As is typical for vintage devices, there is a slight presence of internal dust that does not affect the brightness or sharpness of the projection. The zoom helicoid mechanics operate smoothly.
Mechanical and Electrical: Tested and perfectly functioning. The internal lamp lights up regularly, the cooling fan starts up without hesitation, and the electromechanical parts respond to commands. The included wired remote control correctly operates the system.
Aesthetics: Good overall condition, as clearly documented by the photographs. The solid two-tone metal frame of the projector shows only normal and light signs of use and storage consistent with the object's age. The satin-finished metal zoom barrel shows normal superficial scratches due to sliding in its housing. The original paper booklet "The Rollei P11 Universal Projector in Practical Use" is intact and perfectly legible.
Tracked international shipping, fully insured and professionally ultra-protective packaging to ensure maximum safety during transport.
