Condition: Used – sold for parts or restoration. This is a vintage Bell & Howell Model 256 EX Autoload 8mm film projector, made in the USA. The motor runs, but the projector is incomplete and is being sold as a restoration or display project rather than a fully working unit.

Known faults and missing parts:

The cover/lid is missing
No lamp fitted or included
The left reel arm is missing (right arm is present)
Some small loose parts are present inside the lamp compartment (visible in photos)

What is present and visible in the photos:

Main projector body in black bakelite-style casing with carry handle
Film gate and autoload mechanism intact
Lens assembly present
Lamp/Motor/Off toggle switch and Framer control
Voltage selector switch (220/240V — wired for UK use)
Original power cable with UK 3-pin plug (aged)

The body shows age-related scuffs, marks, and general patina consistent with a vintage item of this age. Please refer to all photos before purchasing — condition is as shown in the images.

A great candidate for a restoration project, spare parts, or as a display piece for vintage photography and film enthusiasts.
