I just acquired this projector. It is in very nice condition - made for Bolex by Eumig. I can find very little info. Any members have any? Thanks.

Here is some information. After opening, click on the model above.

Having now done some research it does seem that your projector is very similar to the Eumig 624D and 614D.
There is a manual for download from this web-site. Make sure you are on 8mm projectors, and then scroll to "Eumig 624D/614D", it may not be an exact transition but it should be of help.

Eumig did, indeed, make the 18-6 for Bolex from 1978 to 1980. They made versions of their projectors for other companies as well. They produced a Super 8 only version of their P8 Dual model for the Dixons chain which was sold under the Prinz name, for instance.
