Hi!
I'm looking for a projector like my teacher's had back when I was in grade school or high school. Please forgive my inability to describe it well because I'm going from memory. It was like a big box that you put an ~8.5 x 12 transparency or paper on, and it projected onto a screen or a wall. Does your projector hold a paper that big? If not, do you know of one that does?
Thank you so much in advance,
Yes, I was very polite with my answer, and sent her in the right direction...an OPAGUE projector.

haha, Man I remember those things, I wanted one too, Only we called 'em overhead projectors. Sadly an overhead projector is probably one of the few projectors that holds any value for a very long period of time because when you need something to be projected quick and easy, a transparency and OHPJ is the way to go

One with transparency rolls is an overhead. One that you put a plain sheet of paper on is an opague projector.

Weird, I tried three times to get to this post. The forum told me the topic didn't exist. I think the forum got jealous and censored the overhead projector post

I beleive she said: ~8.5 x 12 transparency or paper on
Which to me could mean either or  , our schools here never had the transparency rolls, we always used the sheets and we always called them overhead projectors.
See! What does school teach thats useful? They couldnt even correctly educate me on the proper term of their projection technology

Oh hey, 'aunty' on eBay has the hots for me! Score! Here's the followup email:
Oh, you sweet, sweet, man! I looked up "Opaque Projector" on wikipedia, and it lead me to "Overhead projector" (I'm including the link below in case you want to see it - it's no big deal to me if you look at it or not). Anyway, the overhead projector is exactly what I want! I have to take off right now, but I'll look at your auctions when I get back.
God Bless you for sending me in the right direction!

Dunno if I'll be able to sleep tonight!

Anybody old enough to remember film strip projectors? Load the film roll, position the first frame, then start a record playing with the audio. When you hear the "BING", scroll the film strip to the next frame.
Now that's high tech!

I don't just remember those, I have one of those! It's a Dukane with the built in cassette deck, almost new too, bought it for $1.00 at a school auction and only opened it to make sure it worked.
Anyone want it?

We used those all the time in some of my history classes. We were required to take notes on the damn presentations, but the teacher didn't like having to flip through the pictures himself so he had a different student do it every time. If you were that lucky student, you didn't have to take notes! Ahh, the good old days...

haha! Beginning of elementary school, it was a privilege to be the kid that got to run the projector at the ding! By the 5th grade though, they came out with automated ones that flipped automatically to the audio, so that was a bummer. Wow, fond memories!
And we called them overheads in school too. We used them up through college, actually. We have one at work collecting dust in the engineering conference room. Hasn't been used in years.

My school used those things, too - in the mid to late '90s. Pretty terrible.
I've actually got a translucent LCD panel intended to use on OHPs, and an OHP with it. I snagged it on eBay in '97 or so, when that kinda stuff was pretty cool: Just having any way to get a big computer image on the wall was pretty awesome.

First actual projector I ever owned! Found it in a dumpster at my grade school with a bunch of film loops and the tapes. Watched em in the basement on my dads pull up screen he used for his kodak carousel 35mm slide projector. He had all the pics he took in Nam 69-70 Pleiku on sldes. Gnarly sh*t I used to watch over and over. And then find out Tonkin was a false flag. Thanks Johnson.
