I don't see a knob to advance the film strip, so that must be automatic triggered by tones on the record?

It wasn't that sophisticated. You inserted the filmstrip, which was in a plastic frame, and it had a motor inside that advanced it up every ten seconds or so. The record was started first and then when you heard sound, you inserted the film all the way in and it pushed up as it advanced. The records were very short.

I have a box full of them and the player somewhere. It belonged to my cousins and my aunt was throwing it out. They also functioned as a regular 4-speed record player and I think you could turn the light off.

IIRC, the advance of the film strip, was driven off the turntable motor.

The Dukane phono-filmstrip projectors had a click signal on the recording, when it was time to advance the filmstrip, one frame. Done by the operator.
