OPENING BID
a Magnavox Illustravox Standard sound slidefilm projector, likely dating from the late 1930s to the 1940s.
This was a cutting-edge "all-in-one" multimedia machine for its time, combining a 35mm filmstrip projector with a built-in record player and speaker system. It was primarily used for corporate training, industrial presentations, and military education (widely used by the U.S. Navy during WWII).
Key Information
Manufacturer: The Magnavox Company (Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA).
The "Jam Handy" Connection: The Jam Handy Organization (JHO) was a massive producer of industrial films and training programs. They often bundled their filmstrips and records with these Illustravox units to sell "turnkey" training solutions to companies like Chevrolet and Chrysler.
Technology: It uses a synchronized system where a record would play audio (narrated instructions or music), and a signal (often a "beep") would tell the operator to manually advance the filmstrip to the next frame.
Design: The "Suitcase" design made it portable for traveling salesmen and corporate trainers.
Estimated Value:
R1,500 - R2,500
