Step back in time and start the show. Our Vintage Wooden Mechanical Vitascope Projector kit brings the look and mechanics of early cinema into your hands. Made from plywood in warm natural wood tones, the kit assembles into a functioning hand-crank projector: a small manual generator powers the light and advances the film strip, the focal length is adjustable, and no batteries or glue are required.
Why builders enjoy it:
It’s a hands-on project that teaches basic mechanical motion and optical focus while producing a handsome display piece you’ll want on a shelf or side table.
We stand behind this kit with a clear money-back guarantee and plant a tree for every purchase. If you’re ready to build something that looks like it belongs in a classic movie poster, add it to your cart and start assembling today.

I had a great time building this and a better time showing it off. Very happy with the quality and function
Michael S. 5/5 Verified
This seemed to be the best quality. Pieces fit better with more stability. Patience is a must!

I worked in the film industry for some time and when I saw this, I couldn't resist buying it. It was a really fun project to put together and now I display it along side some of my movie posters. Took about 3-4 hours to put together and worked perfectly the first time. People see it and think it's awesome! Now I'm looking to get a display case for it and looking forward to what I want to build next.
Amy P. 5/5
Got this as a Christmas present and family project. My kids (5 and 8) absolutely loved putting this together! I thought we'd spread it out over a few days, but they wanted to do it all in one day, which was totally managable. The couldn't do it on their own, but they loved finding the pieces and helping where they could. Great product!
Benjamin E. 5/5 Verified
Love the retro look and functionality. Great looking piece to add to my entertainment room.
Floyd F. 5/5 Verified
Projector was a gift for our seven year old twin grandsons. With the help of my son they completed the building of the projector and it works! They loved it!
Albert J. 5/5 Verified
I really enjoyed the challenge of assembling the Projector!
John Z. 5/5 Verified

Lisette R. 5/5 Verified
This was a gift to my daughter's boyfriend. He LOVED it and hoping to do more.
Ronee N. 5/5 Verified
The perfect Christmas gift! I’m use to doing large Lego projects such as their Star Wars collection, so this was a nice change for me. This gift from my parents caught me by surprise. The quality of the wooden pieces was very good. I did have one wooden sheet with just a slight bend(warp) to it but I still got the pieces to fit well. I enjoyed putting this together and the overall look is great. The fact that it actually works with a short film strip is a huge plus. Extremely satisfied and I’ve already ordered a second puzzle. Thank you.

I thoroughly enjoyed putting this together. It was my first model but definitely not my last!!
Wendy R. 5/5 Verified
So beautifully crafted, building it was so much fun and each step you’re amazed at the construction and build of these sets. 10/10 amazing
Nicholas M. 5/5 Verified
Just starting construction on this one but ordering the steam engine next
Terrence F. 5/5 Verified
This project was fun to do, and it works! Now I need something more pieces.
Tom W. 5/5 Verified
Instructions were fairly clear, but some illustrations were difficult to see clearly. Clearer directions for installing the film would be appreciated. That’s the worst I can say about the puzzle. All the pieces were there, including some spares . They fit surprisingly well. It took me about 12-13 hours to assemble the parts and to my amazement, the camera worked! It is getting me lots of kudos. I’m looking forward to my next puzzle, the Pin Ball Coaster.
John W. 5/5 Verified
Very different from the cars and train models I’ve been building. Looks great on my shelf.
Tom C. 5/5
I'm thrilled. I worked in mechanical engineering for 50 years, 13 of which I was head of quality assurance. The wooden model gets ***** five stars plus from me. Everything fits perfectly, and it's fun too.

Its my favorite ROKR model. It works perfectly projecting the image. And no batteries!

I am giving it as a gift. So far my nephew loved his calendar project and i will ship this out to him in a few days.
Smith B. 5/5 Verified
I am about 2/3 done and loving the process! It is a great lesson in following directions to detail and discipline. Why discipline you ask? Because I can't put it down! Does it tell you if you have any extra pieces like the little wooden pegs? If not, that would be the only thing left to add to the directions. They are so easy and clear to follow. Susan
Susan T. 5/5 Verified
I ordered several different ones as gifts for family. Each one was done and loved by the recipient. They sent me pictures of the finished items. Loved seeing them and really loved that the gift I gave was so enjoyed. You can’t go wrong giving these items to anyone able to put them together.

My gtandson had the train engine for his last birthday, he loved it. His next birthday is in April . I’m hoping he will love this projector as much. Thank you!
Nancy W. 5/5 Verified
This was a 30th birthday present for my son who enjoys photography (in the broadest sense) and I wanted something unique, special and pleasing. I scored 100 % on all three. His partner also enjoys puzzles so this was the ideal gift and they are both most pleased.
Stuart W. 5/5 Verified
It isn’t all finished yet

I purchased this for my grandson. It just arrived so I haven’t given it to him yet. He makes some movies on his own,so I thought he would enjoy this model. Knowing him he will probably stain it. I can’t wait to see the completed project.

Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to give it to our grandson yet because of COVID. I know he’s going to love it . If we get the reaction from him that I’m expecting I’ll certainly be getting more .
Bev S. 5/5 Verified
Gave this as a gift and it was a huge hit! They put it together the next day and had just a blast with all the pieces. It was even prettier and detailed that I had thought it would be! Looks amazing on the bookshelf and have already gotten several asks about it while video conferencing!
