Want 16mm projector with loop and wide angle lens

[AliciaJDCooper]

I am looking for a 16mm film projector. This is for an art exhibition and will show a 10 minute film, so I need a projector which can loop. Also, it needs to have a wide angle lens. I am specifically looking for someone in the New York area to buy from.

From time to time you see old DeVry/TSI projectors on ebay that were designed for use by salesmen and have a relatively short continuous loop magazine. To my knowledge they date from the late '40's/early '50's, so caveat emptor. Other than those, and a few cabinet size film labarynth type devices, the only other thing I could think of would be a theater platter set up for continuous play like an old 8-track. In other words, good luck. Wide angle lenses (I assume you mean short focal length for a larger picture) are common for all makes, and you frequently see Buhl wide angle short throw lenses for rear projection.
