Wow...that Calvin is a really nice machine. I am looking for a nice standard 8 sound projector. Is that a reasonable price ($200) for a projector that may have some issues. The way the description sounds they may not be too serious but you never know. Well Dan, that would solve your reel capacity problem!

Thanks Pat for posting the picture.

I'm a little confused ...the eBay link is just for the bulb -- where do you see $200 for the projector?

Tony, here is the link to Calvin;

Bill, Calvin is Coolidge, but he has too many unknown ailments. also, the opening bid is too high for one who might require immediate medical attention.

That bulb is surely bright enough though. [Eek!] [Big Grin]

Hello Dan. Well my guess would be you have three options. A popular choice is the Eumig 824 Dual Sonomatic which limits you to 600ft reels, or you could go for the Kodak Sound 8 which is old but a number of cine enthusiasts around me swear by them as you can easily adapt them to take 2000ft reels, they also come with a F1 lens as standard. Finally you could be bold and have a go at my next project which is to remove the second claw pin from a Bolex SM80 Programmatic which should if my plan works leave me with a Standard 8 projector with larger spool capacity than the earlier SM80 Electronic machine. I’m still plucking up courage to remove the extra claw but my guess it that it should work out OK. All I then have to do is fit the two Std 8 drive sprockets from a Eumig & guides to complete.

Will report later on my exploits.

Dan, too bad. I've just sold a Eumig 807D; mint and plays up to speed with all 4 sprockets; pads;etc. Are you solely set on an 810D? 807 is slightly different and I may be able to acquire one. I, too, enjoy standard 8mm films and I have many including The Invisible Man feature in standard 8mm sound on 4x400;, believe it or not- in addition to about 2 dozen Castle and Columbia 200' monster and sci-fi shorts. Incidentally, I've just sold Creature Walks Among Us in standard 8mm sound to Phil Johnson.
