WWII US Army Signal Corps Projector/Speaker/More - WWII Bell & Howell Filmosound Signal Corps Projector, Speaker & More This exceptional WWII-era cinematic group is anchored by a Bell & Howell Filmosound ”Utility” Design 156 16mm sound projector and a matching U.S. Army Signal Corps PH-131-G unit. Manufactured in Chicago, these rugged machines feature their original olive drab military finish and internal instruction labels. The lot is incredibly complete, including the original speaker cabinet with a built-in Bell & Howell speaker and heavy-duty cabling, a service manual, a Craig Master Six Splicer, and a collection of vintage GE and Sylvania ”Blue Top” projection lamps. Also included are rare period vacuum tubes, such as RCA and Heintz & Kaufman models, including a VT-116 tube dated May 1945.
