Hi Folks,
I have a Bell & Howell "Autoload" Super 8MM silent movie projector but the lens is ruined. It is an 18mm-30mm f1.6 lens. I had bought a lens on Ebay but it didn't fit, even though the item said it had the same mm and "f" ratings.

I have lots of precious movies of my deceased parents that I would really like to watch, even though they are silent films. For my sound films, I guess I'll have somebody convert them to DVD, rather than buying a sound projector. I had a sound projector that I sent to a guy on Ebay who sells and repairs....he kept my projector and $100.00 of my money that I had paid for another projector.

Thank you,
Armando

Hi Armando, who was the eBay seller that ripped you off? Was it recently?

Ebay for all it's faults,I don't think they advocate theft!

I do hope it wasn't "The Projector Workshop" as I have thought of using his service. Please tell us who ripped you off.
