Remember Vidar, there's no rush to buy a piece like that. It would be better to invest time learning about them then, making the purchase.
But to stay on topic...
I had to much coffee tonight so I just screened a few more shorts on my 8mm Sears Tower, a nice unit with a 1.2 lens and very bright halogen conversion. Realized I could use the front cover as temporary back cover so I don't have to keep screwing and unscrewing during a repair.
I screened the same silent trailer compilation that Dino just mentioned on a 200' reel. I really wanted another look at Louise Brooks in American Venus (1926), a pity I don't have any of her films. And was excited for The Live Wire (1925), I wonder if it was ever released on 8mm?
Then I ran a very rare short film by the artist Hans Richter, Robert Rauschenberg, and others from issue #5-6 of Aspen Magazine.
