I checked Mike’s list against mine and I found several more Movie Maker reviews that do not appear on his list. I am posting these, sorry for any duplicates that may have slipped by.

Hello Hans,
Not a problem at all. I was out-of-town today and just returned (3:49am in New York, got to catch some sleep) I will be sending your reports this evening.
Trev, I am sorry; I don’t have the piece you are looking for.

Jon you are an absolute king among men...Thank you so much for resending the AP-8 review - It came through crystal clear this time on the other email address.
I think it confirmed my thoughts on the projector as being a top notch machine - Here is my favorite excerpt-
"Unique indeed. The only 8mm projector to do the threading first and make the loop afterwards. There will probably never be another machine quite like it."

Hi Jon,
Thank you very much for the reviews. But I only received the second file. Can you please send the first and thirth file again? Perhaps these 2 files were both a little too big.

Hi Jon Addams
I am looking at obtaining a dedicated Standard 8 projector and wondered if you would be good enough to e-mail me the Movie Maker reviews of these projectors: - Bolex 18-5L, and - Eumig P8 Dual My e-mail address is dit at internode dot on dot net.

Thank you, Jon I appreciate your prompt reply and I have received the reviews that I requested.
Unfortunately, I did not do enough research prior to making my request. I now realise that the Bolex 18-5L is a Super8 only projector. The Bolex 18-5 is a Standard 8 projector. And the Eumig P8 Dual is a more modern dual gauge projector than the Eumig P8 Standard 8 projector made in the 1960s.
May I make another request and ask which of the projectors that are in the Movie Maker reviews list are Standard 8 projectors?
