Here are the pictures of my newly acquired Fujica Standard 8mm mag sound projector. This is a real beauty. The handle is Bakelite as are some of the othere parts. It's housed in a cast iron chassis. It uses a CZX incandesant lamp. Looks to be an early 1960's model. Weighs 38 pounds. Pretty much flawless. There is no front tilt function but each of the four feet are adjustable by screwing them out. I put some white lithium grease on the gears and it runs very quite. I slept with it last night, but my wife caught us together. [Eek!]

Looks like an incredible machine Dan. How well does it work?
Sorry to hear your wife caught you sleeping with it. Just tell her that you are a super 8 guy and the projector is regular 8mm! [Big Grin]

Dan,

I have the same projector! When I got it in 2004 the Fujica was running at 18 fps and it took me a bit to figure out how to change speed to 24 fps. Here's that thread . It's a great machine.
