Hi Rick,
Your best bet is probably to get a Eumig Dual 8 sound projector. Eumig made several very good high quality dual 8's in the S700,S800, and S900 series, and there are plenty of them around. Go to eBay and search under Eumig, and I am sure you will find one within a couple of weeks. Do not confuse Single 8 with regular 8. Single 8 refers to Super 8 film camera stock packaged in the Fujii single 8 casette. ALL Super 8 projectors will project Single 8, which is identical to super 8 at the projection stage. Only a super8+Regular 8 sound projector will do what you want. However Rick, I think you would be much better off buying a stand alone super 8 sound projector, and a stand alone regular 8 sound projector, because a lot of compromises are made in the design of the projector claw in order to have a dual 8 function in one projector. In dual 8 projector's the claw is usually round instead of rectangular, and this can sometimes put high stress and little depressions into the tiny super 8 perforations, leading to unsteady projected pictures when the films are subsequently shown on another super 8 projector.
