Whilst many projectors Maurice refers to were sourced from obscure makers in Japan etc, there can be some exceptions. The Prinz Compere 8 S sound projector was a rebadged Eumig S810. A friend gave me a faulty Boots Auto 8 Zoom projector found in the loft. Built like a battleship, I found that it was an early Sankyo similar to their Dualux 8 S model. Restored to full working order now after some TLC and expletives!

Ken
There are the large Super 8 Fumeos, these have manual threading and are versions of their 16mm models. I say this as I also have a Fumeo 9914 which is actually a Bauer which has auto-thread.

I agree with the comments on the Noris machines. I do like these and have a 322 in use now. Years ago I had another one of these,but the picture was often unsteady,though not always.
I was told that the unsteady image may have been due to the fast claw pull down,which gives very good brightness on the screen,but can cause stability problems when things start to wear.
my current 322 seems ok up to now. If you have the f1.1 xenovaron,it does give a very bright picture for the 100 watt lamp,and hardly any hum on the sound.
just make certain you test a prospective purchase for the image stability.

My pleasure [Wink]

But this is about all the input I can give as long as my own experience goes: I also have other brand machines/models, but they are not the ones you listed

I have several projectors but my go to is the Elmo FP8-C dual 8. This projector has never scratched or eaten a film. My particular model came with the EJM 150 watt halogen bulb. The projector has a few features I really like. The coolest is the fact I was able to use a Bolex hi-fi lens. The barrel on the Elmo is the same width and so it works perfectly. The quality and sharpness of my movies is amazing! As mentioned it's a dual 8 model and uses a sprocket system that slides either the standard 8 or Super 8 sprockets into place. It's pretty slick and easy to use. The projector is also pretty quiet when the motor is properly oiled, and every thing else is up to speed. Sure it looks like an older design but it's well built! The images are rock solid and in focus from corner to corner. I can highly recommended this model if you can find one in good working order. I'd like to also add their easy to work on and belt change is a breeze!

Hi Doug,

- What is you Heurtier ST 42 model (Is it a Dark Green or Brown Color one).
Earlier ST 42 (Dark Green) were showing a front aluminium casing.
Others models (not PS24) are showing plastic casings....

- Did your identify particular areas which are supposed to initiate any scrathes (once auto-loading guide retracted).

- Did you check pressure plate friction load ? (claw retracted, slide a portion of leader and estimate pulling force).

Thanks, Philippe. What's the difference between (for the speed) "ajustable" and "asservissable" ? You may answer in French by pm if you prefer [Wink]

Hi Dominique,

Just reviewing this chart, I assume "Asservissable" means Motor Speed can be controled by an external signal.
(However BEAULIEU 708 can not be controlled by an external source in its classical configuration.)

"Ajustable" only means manual Adjustment (Knob on projector as Beaulieu, GS1200, etc..).....

To be confirm

Phil,

The Heurtier has been in storage for quite some time and I do not recall the specifics. I did bring it to CineSea one year so I'll take a look and see if Claus ever posted a shot of it.

Tom, I rediscovered this thread with a search.
In a recent thread I speak about a. Heurtier, silent version, but that I consider an excellent projector with an ancient charm.
