I'm considering picking up the Sound Movie Projector (Type II) and would love to get your thoughts on it. How does the picture quality hold up? I'm particularly interested in whether it delivers a sharp and vibrant image.

Also, what can I expect in terms of sound quality? I’m hoping for something that enhances the viewing experience without being too overwhelming or tinny.

I know that the system plays a big role in overall performance, so any insights on its usability and features would be super helpful. Lastly, are there any potential downsides or drawbacks that I should be aware of before making a purchase?

Thanks in advance for your help!
