Leitz Parvo 250 Projector

Chris and Carol

I’ve recently acquired this Leitz slide projector from a local client of mine. Made in Germany about 1949 it was purchased by her father who was a US Army officer stationed in Germany shortly after the war. As best as I’ve been able to discover, it was made for only one year before a newer model was released. The newer model was known as the Prado 250.

Parvo 250 “Small Screen Projector”.
Shown here with the roll film adapter inserted.
Adapter for showing individual 35mm slides.
With the lens housing removed the body of the projector is marked as the Pravo II.
A super sharp Leitz-Hektor 10cm f/2.5 projection lens.
As simple as simple gets. It uses one 250 watt lamp and no cooling fan. To the right of the bulb is the mirror and to the left is two condenser lenses.
The case is in excellent condition and is unremarkable that there’s no branding anywhere on it. The locks still work and I have both keys.
After seven decades of use, it still looks great (and solid).

There you have it, a brief picture tour of this very interesting slide projector from Leitz. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! – Chris
