Interestingly I had heard long ago that the bulb on these does not burn hot like a normal projector. It's basically an over-sized dial pilot bulb.
The film strip is more like a typical dial plastic than a conventional celluloid film strip, but under rough storage conditions it is known to deteriorate. This one is still very nice. There is, or was, repro's available. I haven't checked recently.
