The RCA model 400 16mm sound movie projector. The Junior, or Juniorette model. 1949.

Interesting RCA 16mm sound projector commercial to demonstrate the lightweight, compact projector even a lady can handle. Shows the history of RCA 16mm sound projectors dating back to 1932, as well as a size comparison to competitive brands like Ampro and Bell and Howell. The woman demonstrator handles the projector with ease! All the features the RCA 400 Juniorette are shown. Mastered from 16mm Kodachrome film.

RCA service is still here over seventy years later.

Also I got a kick out of it because, like you I’ve owned most of these at one time or other,

[@MoviecraftInc]

And there are some of those RCA's still running film today!

[@OfficeofImageArchaeology]

@@MoviecraftInc I have a couple that still run but I would never never use them on film. They’re just to look at.

Larry, thank you for sharing. This was fun to watch!

[@MoviecraftInc]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@OfficeofImageArchaeology]

Loved this, nice find.

[@MoviecraftInc]

Thanks! I too love these early projector promotional films.

[@ikonseesmrno7300]

That's a neat film & I really appreciate the work that goes into these! Have you run across any promo films for B&H? Also, where would these films have been played? Trade shows?

[@MoviecraftInc]

I would think Trade Shows is the answer. Wherever teachers and faculty would see the benefits in ordering an RCA projector. We will see what we have on B&H for future uploads...as long as it is not uploaded already be someone else.
