I have got a nice Yelco DS-800 projector that is Super 8 mm and I want to transform into a regular 8 mm projector. Would you help me to find the wheels I need and which ones do I have to change.Thanks for your help.
-and it looks to me like this is a Super-8 only machine.
This means
-The gate aperture is the wrong size -the claw is the wrong shape -The sprockets are the wrong shape. -The distance between the gate and the sound heads is wrong (only matters if your R8 films are sound ones)
(What else did I forget???)
So we're looking at a pretty complex conversion here.
The good news is it looks like a pretty nice machine. I'm curious how it stacks up against Eumigs and Elmos of similar specs.

Steve,
Yelco made fine projectors, I prefer them to the Eumigs. I own two Yelco, the silent and I mean silent P111Q, perhaps the best dual projector I have ever owned and the sound DS810MT.
I am in love with the Elmos so I wouldn’t compare them.
Manuel, would you consider a trade for an excellent regular 8 projector?
