Just seen this, tucked away among the tape recorder listings. Gotta be of interest to someone on the forum, surely?

The seller says it is a Sony (just because he found a Sony sticker), but from the back of machine it shows that this is an MWA machine:

MWA is a German company and is still operating to date making a telecine machine (flashscan):

So probably this is a telecine?

One unit is marked "17.5/35mm". The other is marked "16mm".
So are these for film transfer to some form of video output?

Sound only? Not pictures? And to what medium?

The .pdf shows it to be a Recorder/player for MAGNETIC film (all formats, which would include Fullcoat, Multitrack etc) and Player for Optical tracks with standard and red readers.
