Hi William, I've had one of these machines,600ft capacity with mono sound.18-24fps fixed speed and 100w lamp with a 1.4 zoom lens,they run fairly quiet also.I found it very kind on film and never had any issues with it,always threaded first time every time,Should do you well,Mark.

Thanks for that i fully trust the person i am getting it from so it should be fine.It will definatley be better than my current one which is not usable now as it destroys movies is £65 a fair price for it?

The price on them does vary but £65 is an o.k price for a decent one,you can get them for £20-30 but i've also seen them priced at £80-100+,Mark.

Thanks Pasquale i am very confident it will be a good purchase.Also as a starter it doesnt seem to complicated to run.
Picked this up today and its great!!!! brand new lamp in it fully serviced.Picture looks amazing and the sound is incredible.even bought myself a new movie to watch on it got the classic Doctor in the house 4x400ft Beginning to like this new hobby quite a lot
