These three projector models are physically and mechanically similar in design. Only the 1552 was equiped with Directamotion control. Directamotion® shows sequential action by stopping and starting the film, one or more frames at a time, in forward or reverse. It always stops "on frame" - no framing required. Directamotion is controlled by lever. Also has silent film (18 frames per second) playback capabilities. The model 1545 projectors are aqua and charcoal in color and are not equipped with the illuminated control panel, film path access door or mechanism door. Early 1552 front covers had a tendency to open when titled sideways. Also the still picture function in early 1552's required a parts kit modification to work properly. The "Directamotion" feature was also available for use with an optional remote control that plugged into the back of the machine near the speaker jack.   There were the earlier "A" models with a small diameter (S-250) speaker jack and only high lamp brightness (non-selectable). The later models were the "B" version with a standard 1/4" speaker jack and a "Hi-Lo" lamp brightness selector slide switch (located on the main frame near the projection lens. The "A" and "B" models were wired differently
