I have the sad task of going through my Fathers passion after his passing. I have no knowledge of if items are worth finding a home for or even if they are saleable either through a forum as this or via the auction sites such as eBay so any advice or feedback would be appreciated.
There are the following items
eumig P8 1950’s in original leather box and plug fitted for UK 240 volt use. Case is in good condition but I know it has not run in over 40 years. I think Dad upgraded due to film flicker on playback.
eumig 1970’s version was working fully when boxed 30 years ago.
Quartz 2m Russian made 8 mm cine clockwork camera in original case with various lenses and fully working.
Clockwork Bell and Howell 252 in original leather case and working.
Any advice or pointers appreciated.
I do have photos of them but the images format is very high so could send them via email if you need to see them.

Providing they are all in working order, I would suggest they should be valued at around £20 each.
There are always plenty of Eumig P8 for sale on eBay.
None of the items are very rare, but all are a worthy buy for anyone who still uses standard 8 film.

They are not rare stuffs. So would not be making that much money if you are selling them to the 8mm/film communities. But it would be different matter now if you are selling in vintage communities. Some there are appraising higher price than us now here.

Good luck
