3M 9080 Overhead Projector Model 9000A Portable Folding Arm 82V Lamp 120V

The 3M 9080 is a portable overhead projector from 3M's Visual Systems Division, designed for classroom, boardroom, and presentation use. It features a folding arm design that collapses the projection head down flat onto the stage for compact transport and storage, then deploys quickly for use. The large Fresnel lens stage accepts standard transparency sheets and provides a bright, even projected image.

Applications

The 3M 9080 was part of 3M's well-regarded line of overhead projectors produced through the 1980s and 1990s, when transparency-based overhead projection was the standard presentation method in schools, universities, corporate training rooms, and conference rooms across the country. The folding arm design made the 9080 a popular choice for presenters who needed to move the unit between rooms or carry it to off-site locations. While digital projectors have largely replaced overhead projectors in new installations, these units remain in use in many school districts, churches, community organizations, and hobbyist settings — and are also collected by enthusiasts of vintage AV equipment. Replacement 82V lamps remain widely available, and the straightforward, mechanically simple design of the 9080 makes it easy to service and maintain.
