Here's a pic of the Eumig 711 R which appears to be an older brother of the Eumig S 720 which has been the subject of earlier postings.

The photo shows clearly how the projector converts from cartridge to spool loading. Simply pull up the cartridge locating spindle which then becomes a feed arm for a convential spool.

I seem to have a vague recollection of these machines Maurice
they might have been tested in the "Movie Maker" mag,which I
can't check pre '79 as I left them when I moved from home, but
they are a talking point and typical of Eumig,very solid looking.

This projector model has turned up on eBay for sale,It's hard to find any info on it and it doesn't show up when searching for it!
Was it very limited in release?

I think if it had a test report in Movie Maker it was before I started buying it every month. However it did show up in the July 1971 article on cartridge projectors. Like the Beta vs VHS war there were 2 different cartridge types Kodak and Bell & Howell!!! Eumig produced both a silent (510-D, very similar to the 501-D but with a 12v 100w lamp) and sound the 711-R magnetic recording & playback. It was described as being the first super 8 sound cartridge projector to be shown publicly and to be on sale in Britain for aprox £240 (in 1971) including purchase tax. It says "The projector is unusual due to having a motor-driven sound flywheel and paces the claw drive by means of a loop-arm sensor in the loop of film between the picture gate and the soundhead".

Wow! That price of £240 in 1971 would be the equivalent of well over £3,000 today. Little wonder that only 5,000 were made. There was also the AV 711 but I don't know what the difference was. It seems to be a sound version of the Mark 510 D also cloned as the Bolex 18-9.
