HISTORY:
My primary interests have always been electronics and the 'the arts' and more specifically, music, artwork and hand crafted/decorated chinaware's.
I am not a film enthusiast but an associate has asked me to find new owners for THEIR large collection of photographic and film items ... this is yet another one of those items.
One of his machines was the TITAN TRIMATIC silent projector which just had too many issues to warrant having it serviced so it is now sitting on the workbench undergoing "the operation" i.e it is becoming an organ donor for other TITAN projectors. These TITAN's are built like a battleship with extensive use of diecast metal for the frame, those parts have gone off to a scrap metal dealer.
This is the front panel function switch assembly, complete with knobs and the 2x mounting screws.
TITAN (Japan) - Switch Assembly
Push button with interlocking
Made in Japan
Circa early 1980's (machine is date stamped 1983)
Heavy metal mechanism construction with four push n lock White plastic buttons
Leaf switches (large) do the switching
Solder tag terminals at the rear
COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED (Extracted from the TRIMATIC Silent projector)
CLEAN
Free of any marks or damage to the switch body or the buttons
Fully functional electrically and mechanically (the interlocking) prior to removal of from the "patient" a Titan TRIMATIC.
Leaf switches are open frame type so access to the contacts for cleaning is an easy undertaking.
I have desoldered all connecting wires except the inter-terminal strapping. The new owner will need to resolder the wires on their own projector (colour coded wiring)
I have now carefully packed this switch assembly, along with the 2x mounting screws, into a clear plastic package and it is now patiently waiting to bring life for another lonely, sad projector with a damaged switch assembly or missing/damaged buttons.
