Ok I've been browsing the internet last night and came up to this beauty. Its a V4 on a custom pedestal and I would like someone to identify the lamphouse on it

It can easily be a Kinoton but I am not sure. Any Ideas? The resizing really cracked the image.

Dimitri
Couldn't this be a custom made lamphouse?
There are a lot made here 25 or so years ago, converting older projectors to xenon arc. Like this one:

I also have made custom made lamphouses but the design looks a bit like a Kinoton lamphouse. Christos is that a Microtechnica projector in that picture?

Zeiss Ernemann X. At the back is an Ernemann VIII.

I really admired the paint job on this V4 as well as how everything looks new. Of course I would go witha Cinemeccanica turret instead of that.

I have a question about a projector too. On the picture is a soviet 23KPK. As I know, most soviet machines were copyed. Does this projector look familiar to anybody?

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth

Paavo,

The projector looks like a Prevost (P93?) It's an italian projector.

It looks like a copy of an ernamann 9

That is an interesting turret on that V9

It's a V4! From what it seems it looks like a Fedi replica. What Fedi did with the Lens turret actually included both lenses mounted on a same axle and one could be swapped with the other by pushing either both lenses up or both lenses down. (one replaced the other). I don't know why they did not use the Cinemeccanica turret.

That V4 looks great, also that kind of turret were used on some Bauer U series machines, don't know if is same, but is looks same. As for CCCP 233KPK, I don't think is made from Prevost, because KPK has reverse scan, curved gates and so....as I did have hear they were "good" machines with steady picture. I belive design in from them, as they did made a who knows how many, they did have film industry in cold war, and they made everything alone by themselves....
