Lee I don't remember the make of my amp, could have been a Craven, but it was designed for the Eumig. I had an 807D in those days and it needed the "wick" full up in a small hall, but with maximum "wick" also came maximum hum.
The amplifier had an extra control which was supposed to reduce the projector's hum, but it didn't really work. The amplifier just increased the output and the hum. So the extra purchase of the amp was a total waste of money.

the eumig 850 xenon superlux must have not been sold very much, i have never ever seen one in real and i don't believe the museum in austria has one to. but man what a beast it is. nowadays xenon power untis can be smaller but they still won't fit in a mark 800. you also have to make do with the distortions the power supply creates in the amplifier, you wouldn't get much sound from your film i'm afraid

Probably it never went into production. There must have been only a prototype, obtained by modifying a Series 800 machine.
