Folks, it looks like I may be the family-designated converter of Super 8mm film to digital, and it may involve a few hundred reels. Lot of work ahead of me, and some films will need some editing and repair.. I'm currently using an Elmo 912 editor viewer, and am well aware of it's limitations (ex, flicker) - it's generally OK for use. I'm considering purchasing an editor viewer with the "NF System", and a motorized drive. My question: is the "NF System" as good as some people have stated, or is it not worth buying to replace my current over my current editor viewer? Yes, I know that there are those among you that consider the differences between one viewer editors to another aren't significant, while others feel differently. I'd appreciate your thoughts & comments!

I am someone who pretends a lot from editor viewer, I always look for an accurate vision. I have an Erno RE-904 NF (European versione of Goko RM-8008), that have NF system, which should be the best editor ever for the Super 8. I can confirm it only in some respects: the NF system really makes the image smoother, but the screen of this model has a brightness too low for my taste. It has some amazing audio functions, but its magnetic heads are great, but sometimes they could create fluency problems with sound. To test sound films there is nothing better on the market, but for silent films I think that others, like the Minette, have a brighter and more defined screen.
