I thought I'd sign up as I look at posts here every day. I bought a cheap cine camera in the 1970s to record our kids growing up. Later, I got into video camcorders and the old Super 8 and earlier 8mm family films were stored away. Last year, I decided to capture all the old cine footage to my computer. My old GAF projector wasn't up to the job so I picked up a bargain Sankyo 1000 on Ebay although I had to fit a new belt.I couldn't resist another Sankyo 1000 at a bargain price and,again,I had to fit a new belt. Then, I picked up a job lot including a non-working Eumig S 710. After soaking the rubber clutch disks with brake fluid it worked well. Then, I bought another job lot including an Eumig 501 with a broken lens carrier. After repairing it with a paper clip, washer and super glue, I used it to capture all the old cine footage. I've since bought a Prinz Compere which is a modified Eumig 501 for Super 8 and an Eumig S 712 for little money. The latter has a duff amplifer but it's one of the quietest projectors I've owned. I forgot to mention a poorly Eumig 8 which, sadly, is only suitable for spares. The trouble is that I'm running out of room now!
