Well David - The difference is that Maurice's comments/posts are based on many years of real life experiences of collecting and operating film/projectors of all guages, whereas Andrew likes to pontificate on all film guages even though he has no practical experience of them. Andrew is a self proclaimed 8mm enthusiast and is on record as stating that he is not interested in collecting 16mm or other guages. So whose advise would you follow??

All is true Terry, except to say ive equally never owned any PCMC, Casmatic, Perini or GEC machinery,to name but few, but I know how to fix them when they dont work as intended.
I didnt realize you had to regularly show 16mm film to be able to fix a 16mm projector sorry?
You are however 100% accurate in saying i have absolutely no interest whatsoever in 9.5mm, 16mm or 28mm film guages. Nor do i ever intend loaning 35mm or 70mm from any film companies to view in my lounge.

I must admit Andrew is very much like me I have no interest in super 8 theirs nothing worse than watching a film with sand in your eyes and the flimsy film you have to deal with and Andrew has no interest 1n 16mm ,but I must admit he seems to know what he is talking about re super projectors and films probably as much knowledge as me on 16mm my father was the bee knees on 16mm films and projectors and owned a cinema in the 60s which he owned for years before selling it to Tesco for a supermarket
