I have been looking through Ebay for a few weeks now in hopes of buying my first projector. After reading many posts here I realized most are Elmo and Eumig fans. I would love to purchase one of these but they are few and far between. Finding one without any issues or dealing with overseas shipping has proven problematic. Time is running out as I have a deadline of sorts and need to buy one in the next week.

I found a couple that might do the trick, I only need one for the short term as I plan to transfer all my reels digitally. The purpose of buying the projector would be to weed out the bad reels from the good before shelling out a lot of money for transfers. Btw, if anyone is curious, I will be using pro8mm.com for the transfers. I have never used them before but they were recommended by a photographer/film maker friend.

If one of the seasoned experts here could look at the following two projectors and let me know what they recommend in my situation, I would greatly appreciate it. The only problem I can see with the Eumig is that the reel is missing but I am hoping that is easily remedied.

Thank you-Karen
