Hi, this is my first post so bare with me. I have a Kodascope 8-33 and a 16mm Bell and Howell 2592. I also have two super 8 films and some 16mm films but no super 8 projector. I am a new enthusiast. I was wondering which super 8 projector might be a decent but not too expensive one to start with. I have read that dual 8 projectors might not be prefered because they can be hard on films. Thanks in advance for any insight.

Hi, Bobby, welcome to the nut house. [Big Grin]

I have a Eumig and a few Elmo super 8 machines that are a real pleasure to use. The maintenance is low too. They're easy to work on and parts are available. I'm sure someone will chime in about other makes, but these are the ones I am familiar with. You can find them from around $75.00 and up.

Also,you might want another 8mm machine.The 8-33 only has 200 ft capacity.Best of the bunch is the Keystone K109,lots of then on sleaze bay cheap,usually around 35-40 dollars.It's a great machine

Hi, is that Bobby (male) or Bobby (female)? We need to know so the right group of people can identify with you as you wish us to "Bare" with you!

There's a lot more ribbing like that on here...welcome to the gang.
