EDIT: I have a test film on its way now, thanks!!!

Hi,

I've got a 16mm projector that someone gave me a couple of years back (Bauer P8T400 rescued from being chucked out by my old college)... I'd like to see if it even works properly but i have no 16mm film, and don't want to spend much to test it. Also don't want to risk anything important in case it chews it up!

Any ideas about the cheapest way + could get some expendable 16mm footage to try it out?

If anyone has any random 16mm I could buy very cheap (or trade for as-new Super-8 'island of mystery'/'escape from atragard' exerpts) for testing please let me know! Obviously the subject + condition isn't too crucial, tho it would need to be good enough to run thru the projector of course!

thanks!

Hello Tim
If you could PM me your address details I'm happy to give you a 16mm sound film to test your projector with, I have a couple of faded but in good physical shape cartoons spare, one of which will do the trick for you to see if your machine works. All I would ask is for the actual post cost to be re-imbursed - this should be quite low as we are both located in the UK. Over to you.
