Can't believe my luck.

I have a good friend, Joan (aged 83) who has already given me two projectors.

A Bauer T3 and recently the Zeiss Ikon

Now her daughter has just given me a mint Sankyo 501 dual 8 sound...
Spare lamp, 400ft take up, film trimmer, original box... wow....
I went to her house, she had 5 projectors!

I have decided to give away my Eumig and the Bauer...
I feel so lucky today.
It works like a charm... I feel very lucky today.
Watching my 1970's Navy super 8 with good sound.
Might have to go to the bay and buy a couple of sound films now....

I have been told by 'he who must be obeyed' No More Projectors!

I also got this cute little cine viewer today, works well.

I wish I had friends like yours. I've seven projectors at the moment, having sold on three and scrapped one,but that "No more projectors" sounds familiar.

Nice projector, good friend! Having multiples is not so bad in the 8mm format. I collected projectors and had about 100 16mm projectors. Big and heavy. Wife was not happy. It took several years to sell them all off. I'm 70 years old and I did not want to croak and have her send them all to the trash! [Smile]

Really happy with the 501.
Had a peek inside to make sure there are no bulging capacitors, plugged it in and ran a sound movie.
Really very steady image and great sound....

I do want to get the Eumig and Bauer gone, but I can't bring myself to dump them. I have put a post in another part of the forum, offering them, but I don't think many people in uk are close enough to come get them..

You're a lucky guy, Mike!

I get offered projectors all the time. Not only are they never usable ones, they are also never sound ones. Until I went to CineSea, I'd never met another civilian that owned a sound projector!

The first couple of times somebody brought me some semi-ancient ones it was kind of neat: they are nice to put out on display. If I put them all out, people would start to think I lived by myself, which might eventually become true!

So when some kind soul says they have a machine for me, I ask about it and usually wind up telling them I've caught my limit!

They mean well!

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...
