Applications
Overhead transparency projectors like the Apollo 3400 were standard presentation tools in classrooms, lecture halls, training rooms, and conference rooms from the 1970s through the early 2000s. They project hand-drawn or printed acetate transparencies onto a screen, allowing presenters to face their audience while displaying content. The Apollo brand, produced by Apollo Audio Visual (a division of Buhl Industries and later ACCO Brands), was among the most widely used OHP lines in North American schools and businesses throughout this era. While digital projectors have largely replaced them in new installations, overhead projectors remain in active use in many school districts, churches, community organizations, and industrial training environments — and are sought by collectors and vintage-AV enthusiasts. The Apollo 3400 series was particularly popular for its compact folding design and relatively quiet cooling system.
This Apollo 3400 V3400 overhead transparency projector powers on and lights up. The unit shows normal wear consistent with classroom use, including light surface scuffs on the housing, some pencil or marker writing visible on the top of the base (noted in photos), and minor surface discoloration near the arm mount. The Fresnel stage glass, projection arm, and head assembly all appear intact. Please review our photo set — including the interior lamp bay shot — and contact us with any questions.
