I've got one of these sets in a very rough state overall but the projection bits are all there so this is an interesting thread from my point of view-the whole 104 will need a lot of work. I did a bit of a search when I got it and there doesn't seem to be any other "projection" model as Clive says [and he should know!]. It's not surprising really as i imagine that feature would have added to the production cost when perhaps it wasn't so essential. I'm reminded of the !Teleflix" [Combination Letters/Numbers] Dial designed to aid station location but only used in a very few sets [not Murphys].
