A Moviscop Classic Remade - CLASS - 1+ I've rebuilt well over 100Moviscops over the years. I'm not selling "used" Moviscops - but serviced - fully working Moviscops. This one is better than most. I made a special purchase of a few NEW OEM Bakelite Film Slides. This is the Moviscop Classic - and it qualifies as Brand New. I am listing 2 identical units with Bright Clean images.
Here's what I do:
* Clean all Mirrors* Clean the movement Optic... Lenses* Clean and Lubricate the MovementMechanism * Replace Bulb Socket with Ceramicsocket for Halogen Bulbs Original OSRAM 24 watt bulbs sell for $25 and up on eBay* Install 24v 35w Halogen Xenon Bulb (Mfg rated at 10, 000 Hrs.) -Replacements available on eBay for under $5. Original bulb is 24 watt - but most people prefer the slightly brighter 35 watt Ceramic Socket allows positioning of the bulb so the filament is centered over the Condenser lens to avoid dark spots.* Include a spare 35w Xeon Halogen Bulb and a spare Fuse..* Inspect Viewing lens - This lens has no Visible Chips.* Replace needed Mechanical Parts* Inspect Original Bakelite Film Slider Bed - Discard Worn Out or Broken ones This Slider Bed is Brand New OEM Bakelite. Check the Photo of Plates* Replace chipped Rollers - This one has new rollers of an improved plastic.* Replace old non-standard 2prong Power Socket with 3 Prong Computer Cord Jack* Include 3-Prong Computer PowerCable* Replace the Rubber Feet* Reprint Original Manual - withadded section on Cleaning without damaging the unit.
This all takes 2-3 hours perMoviscop. This unit has adjustable input voltage.

Since I started listing these serviced units - all of a sudden vendors think that ANY Moviscop is worth big prices. Out of every 10 Moviscops I acquire - all need cleaning and 7 or 8 need repairs Some of them have a badly worn Film Slide Bed that will scratch film. Some were cleaned by people who didn't know how fragile the old Film Beds are - and over-tightened screws - breaking out parts of the plate. The Mirrors are silvered on the front and easily scratched. If you see a Moviscop listed missing it's power cord - you know it has the older non-standard size 2 prong power cord. Nothing fits them. If the seller admits knowing nothing about them - RUN! So - with mine - someone who knows what these classics are about - worked on them. You will get a Moviscop in good working condition with a Bright Clean Image.
