Hi,

I have heard of a 35mm ex-cinema projector for sale. The owner tells me it is an Italian projector called a "Peon".

I have looked through the manuals section and also done a few Google searches...with no luck. Has anyone heard of these?

I haven't sighted the projector...I would like to know a little more before I perhaps make a trip to view it.

Hope someone can help with some info on this.

Thanks From,
Henry.

Right brand is "Pion" or "Pio Pion". They are old 35mm projectors, and there are many models, some better, some worse.

It is important to know the model (Supersilens, Eureka, ecc)

You could see something on the italian forum, in which there are some photos; search the term "Pion" clicking on "Cerca" on the blue bar

Thanks Ferdinando and Adam,

I'll find out the model number and continue my research.

Henry.
