Sherlock Clark here! I've looked through the seller's past and present auctions but cannot find any other clues to ID which Hammer film this may have been used in, it would be nice if a Hammer films expert on the forum could give the seller a hand and not leave them out on a limb
quote: Multi-Gauge Projector.... We found in the video world there are a lot of multi-system players, but any projector can play multi-gauge 8mm and 16mm?
Winbert, FYI, The Heurtier TriFilm can project 8, 9.5 and 16 mm. A very cleverly designed machine.
What an excellent story! Of course, in telling this tale, the seller makes no mention of the model #, or if the damn(ed) thing works or not! Just one question: If you win it and your life turns out fine, can you get a refund?

How much do you wanna bet that the seller would be more than willing to accommodate such refund upon realizing the camera can bring good luck, too

What a load of wafflybollox! Luckily the auction doesn't end until Sunday so I can use most of Saturday to read the description in full - all the surplus text hides the excellent screen shots below the wording that many bidders won't bother to scroll down to see. Definitely a case of 'more is less'

Kevin, I just love that word; 'wafflybollox' never heard it before but I'm going to try and use it in conversation tomorrow.
My favourite until now has been 'guggapooey' but 'wafflybollox' might just have pipped it at the post .

Hello Mike I first heard the term when working at a local Learning Centre - thankfully it didn't turn out to be an incurable ailment of the male private parts as I had at first suspected! The Learning Centre's ICT Tech once designed a chat based website devoted to the art of Wafflybollox - defined as 'To lose yourself in talking absolute rubbish; To speak about nothing but mention everything'. It certainly deserves more exposure as a great word to sum up so many worthless, padded, over-blown documents, conversations and presentations we are subjected to these days
