Hey gang, anybody interested in a Honeywell ElmoFP8-C? A 2nd hand store across the street from me has one in the box...looks decent. He knows me well enough that he'd let me test it and fool around, and I'll bet he'd sell it very reasonably...
But its heavy!

Hi Joe

Are you sure it's a FP-8. I found FP-A dual 8mm. I'm interested if you get more info. [Confused]

Thanks

Yes Pat, there is an Elmo FP-8, it was built by Elmo in pertnership with Honeywell. It was marketed in 1966 as Honeywell Elmo FP-8C.

It's a dual projector and it's a great film eater if not kept in top-notch condition. [Mad]

Well, I went over and borrowed the projector from dude, and it worked great. Nifty little machine...I projected a 50' home movie reel and it looked fine. Bright. Auto thread worked like a champ. I was impressed....

Okay, Pat passed on it, so I'm going to carry it back across the street. But I'm sure it will be there for some time if anyone is ever interested....
