[Frameworks] 16mm graflex / singer / telex projectors

[Ekrem Serdar]

Thanks you 2; Alain, it's true the path isn't as easy as the Pageant
(specifically the bottom part), but still felt good. Lamp wise, true true,
but the pageant I have right now uses the old robot ears to begin with.
Plus the pageants I was eyeing didn't seem that great/cheap, so I just got
a graflex from etsy(!) that looked good and was cheap. 1000 model. Also,
cheers for Chuck Hessingers contact.

And yes, ugly as hell.
