Hi Brad, I like Eumigs, they are very well engineered machines, very solidly built, and extremely kind to film. Look for the 802, 810, or 820 Sonomatic. There are lots of them on eBay- but make sure the seller has tested the sound system before you buy. Avoid any of the dual guage Eumigs, that is those machines which will play both standard 8 ( not to be confused with single 8, which is the same as super 8 at the projection stage) and super 8 film. These particular projectors have compromises in their claw design, which can damage super 8 film. Also, in the more recent 900 series machines, avoid any of the co-axial reel designs (900 thru 930), these are a pain in the neck because of the coax arrangement and the sprocketless feed. Anything above 930 is ok, because Eumig saw the light and went back to a conventional 2 sprocket design. The best projector Eumig ever made is the magnificent 938 or 940. These are very hard to find, but if you can get one, it will give you the best stereo sound quality that you have ever heard on super 8.
