Anyone familiar with this projector, please advise on the following:

Sound quality, magnetic and optical.
Fujinon 1,0 -14-28mm performance.
Film threading. Reliable ?
Overall performance.
Any help, would be most appreciated.

Hi Antonio,
I can only give indirect experience, I currently have a number of silent fujicascopes which are very nice machines. I have also used a couple of sound Yelcos, the stereo3600 and DS810, which share a heritage with the fujicascopes (coming from the same manufacturer) and these are terrific machines.
So I'd say provided this machine is in good order it would be worth considering,
John

Antonio, I have a Revuelux, which is a rebranded SH30, that requires attention (the whole sound board needs power) but as far as mechanical behavior, I'd say it performs superbly, it's very quiet and kind to film. The auto-load system works fine, lens is very crisp.
