Of the three Ampro 16mm projectors
in the Collection, Ampro Stylist Major examples from the
1950’s era another is a Premier 20 also from that
time. The Stylist Major projector was produced by Simplex
Ampro and was distributed in the UK by M.W.Dunscombe of
Bristol. The projectors were favoured because of their
quietness and therefore not hidden in a blimp.
A superb machine it has a
1000watt lamp and a powerful amplifier. It was however
very fiddly to thread and did not find favour with many
projectionists due to this.
