I have located a seller in Norway who is willing to sell me an Elmo ST-180M that belonged to his late uncle, but sadly, he doesn't know anything about it, other than that it works.

The machine you mention is well known. It is also known as ST600M. The 180 stands for 180 metres film capacity; the 600 for 600 ft, which of course is the same. The M stands for magnetic sound.This is a two track mono machine;I've modified mine for Stereo output to external amplifiers. I confirm that they are brilliant projectors; you will find a user manual here (choose ST600, covers variants). http://www.film-tech.com/
The other machine looks very "Eumig"; probably a clone, but which model? Similar to models in the 9XX range, with the drive wheels low down at the rear ant the main Operating "Clunker" at the front..

The picture is a Yamawa, Japan Super 8 film projector. They did appear under different brands, e.g. Yelco 600-Series (603 or 607) 180m/600ft. reel capacity; 12V 100W EFP bulb. Red push button for film threading changed to orange on some brands.
