The Bell & Howell Filmosound 1585 is one of the most reliable and versatile 16mm projectors ever produced. Featuring Bell & Howell’s automatic threading system, a solid-state amplifier, and the dependable EKS halogen lamp, it’s designed for consistent, high-quality film playback in professional and educational settings.
 
A five-blade shutter was professionally installed in 1983 to provide flicker-free performance—ideal for telecine work or video transfer applications.
 
Housed in Bell & Howell’s signature olive-green case, this 1585 includes its integrated speaker cover and all standard controls. It is ready for use in film demonstrations, archival screenings, or as a collectible example of mid-century American projection craftsmanship.
