Description
Excellent condition with original transport case and lots of extra service parts. I did not test it because i don’t know how it works and didn’t want to ruin anything. Rare military collectible. The U.S. Army Signal Corps Projector PH-652(A) (part of Projector Set AN/PFP-1) is a vintage portable 16mm sound motion picture system manufactured during the late 1940s and 1950s by contractors like the DeVry Corporation and Federal Manufacturing & Engineering Corp. Core Unit: Projector PH-652(A)/PFP-1 (16mm optical/sound film projector) Amplifier: AF Amplifier AM-424A/PFP-1 Speaker: Dynamic Loudspeaker LS-170(A)/PFP-1 Cases: Heavy-duty olive-drab metal and wood-reinforced carrying trunks/cases (such as Case CY-1364/PFP-1) designed for field transport Power Requirements: Runs on 105–129 volts, 50–60 cycles AC/DC, drawing roughly 1250 watts. Historical UseThe U.S. Army Signal Corps deployed these ruggedized projector sets during and after World War II through the early Cold War era for troop entertainment, training films, and informational briefings in field or base settings. Because the entire setup (including cases, cables, amplifier, and speaker) weighs upwards of 70 pounds, it was built heavy and strong to survive military logistics.
