Cool as a vintage item, but they tend to be unreliable. The bulbs are $35 - $60 per piece and you never know how old they are. Sometimes the new bulb you buy is 40 years old and has been sitting on a shelf waiting to be plugged in. When it does it pops. I love this old equipment, but more as show pieces than functional hardware. The other potential problem is that you may try to run your one of a kind film through it and have the thing chew up or break the film.
Awesome!
