Does anyone out there have a manual for a Chinon 4100 they are willing to copy and email me? I know there is one on ebay but I am trying to save some money.

Hello, I am looking at digging out all of my old super 8 movies and copying them to something digital. I have a Chinon 4100 sound projector that has been sitting for several years. To get me up and running I am looking for a manual and the parts I do not have, specifically the second reel or whatever it is called. So, to begin I was hoping to get a copy of the manual. Much thanks, I am excited to look at my old movies.
I see a few folks here have the manual fr the Chinon 4100. Any chance I could get one emailed to me? Thanks!
Also. On the Chinon 4100. I remember back in the day using the 'sound on sound' recording to add music and sfx to my movies. I'm about to start to transfer them (with a non sound reflecta scanner)and will need my 4100 to do the 'sound pass'. Does anyone know if it the 'speaker out' is in stereo? So that i will get separate tracks for editing (basically I will want to drop the music track and re-ad music).
I can't test it yet as I am waiting on a belt to get the thing running again.

The only stereo machine chinon did was the ss1200, all others are mono out. A sound track can be added with a simple mixer with multiple inputs and one main output, just need to get the balance from each channel level correct, so the final mix is not over driven, and the sounds you want are balanced in the final mix, a little experimenting is the key.
