Free: Slide projector, Model Norimat 300 West German (New Costessey NR5) Expired Slide projector Noris made in Western Germany- model Norimat 300 Serial number 61282 Needs a new belt for the fan under the machine. The bulb works in the machine but the light doesn’t project out due to a metal plate being in the way. This may move if slides were loaded in, I don’t know. Comes with a spare bulb and long lead. The lead is very long and ends in a three pin with 2 round pins. This then goes into a stout rubber socket with a short lead going to a normal three pin. Due to this arrangement it must be vintage!!
