Mills Panoram
Movie Jukebox
circa 1939, Made by the Mills Novelty Company, the same company that made slot machines, automatic violin players and jukeboxes. The Panoram plays movies with sound. Fully restored inside and out. Look at that wood finish.
This machine plays standard optical soundtrack films, although it needs reverse image film ( original soundies) to display correctly; with conventional nonreversed image, the pictures will be backwards, noticeable when there are titles and lettering.
The large endless reel holds 8 or 9 soundies so you can see multiple films without changing the reel. Original soundies films are still available and can be spliced together to fit on a single reel. Alternatively, there are several reproduction reels available for this machine that have 8 soundies on the one large reel.
The Panoram that is fully operational and restored is an extremely hard to find.
Price: $15,995 plus $400 - $600 shipping
