I found one of the Bentley projectors along with a matching Super-8 camera for sale at a pawn shop in the mid 1980's. No wonder it was selling so cheap,as others have mentioned it ate film with much gusto. I put a copy of Ken Films "The Sands of Iwo Jima" through it and John Wayne wasn't killed by a sniper,but by the hungry jaws of the Bentley! [Big Grin]

Guy, ....I also started collecting in 1958...or 9..with that hand cranked Brumberger. It destroyed film..but I loved that machine..and used it for years before my parents bought me an actual motorized machine. My first films..which I ran over and over and over ....on that Brumberger were just filled with black lines, but the picture was so dim and small that you could hardly tell...and I don't think it ever put any white emulsion scratches on my little 50 Castle films.

Brad, your M/W projector sure does look alot like my GAF Dual-8 unit from back in the early-mid 70s. To it, it loves to munch and crunch fine celluloid specimens. I still use it, but I try to keep it meticulously clean and only run it sparingly. No problems so far, but back in the day....Wow, it showed no mercy.
