Update: I read a few posts where people said old, dry film can shrink, and easily cause extra clatter when going through the projector! I bet that's my problem - all the films i view are old and dry. And that's why the noise goes away when no film is running through the gate.

Question is, what is the best way to lubricate and protect Super 8 home movies?

That's a whole other debate Andy. Do a search on the forum for Filmrenew. There has been a lot of discussion about it and other brands. You can soak your film in it for a few days, that may help.

I ordered some Filmguard - I'll experiment with it and see if it clears up my issue.

My Elmo FP8 is quieter than the Bolex though. Could be the Bolex is more sensitive because the film path is out in the open?
