This is the only one projector ables to match with the Elmo GS. It's very rare! It has a frame like a rock and works for a lot of time without problem. The Fumeo factory is working too.
Note: I'm not the seller

Well. It has manual loading. The arms are for 700m (750? I'm not sure).
Ampli: 30W RMS
Frequency answer:
24fps optical: 50Hz- 7KHz,
24 fps mag 50Hz- 12 KHz
18 fps mag 50Hz- 10KHz
internal speaker: 6 watt
Two blades shutter; by order with three blades.
(from Brochure Fumeo)
It is a long runner! The machine on ebay has monophonic heads, but I have the address and the telephone of the factory which made the heads for the Fumeo. Mr. Rossi, general manager of the Photovox (Superga, Torino) said to me they have the stereo heads for the 9119. One of my friends made a light work: he converted the pre-amplifier to have a stereo RCA output connectable to his home hi-fi. This home hi-fi has a dolby Prologic amplifier. He buy the films from Derann or CHC: record the italian soundtrack from the DVD: he gets the sound from the earphone line and - incredible- the soundtrack arrives with the dolby prologic signal, right for the analogic traces of the super8.

Here photos of a similar machine of the ebay auction

Just found another unusual projector on Ebay but unusual for different reasons; http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3389453006&category=1476 has anyone ever seen one of these before or know who made them?

This projector was sold by MPO Videotronics (don't know who really made it for them) and was one of a number of such types of machines popular in the late 60s to the dawn of video. Fairchild Camera & Instrument also had a couple of rear screen cart load machines in both regular and then super8. Technicolor also had similar machines in Super8 and even optical sound.

Aside from travelling sales presentations, they were also set up in stores for product demonstrations (blenders, vacuum cleaners, etc).

Some carts are easy to reload, others required jigs. At one time there was a business in the loading and special treatment (lubrication/vacuumate) of film in these carts.

An other Fumeo on eBay. It comes from Bavaria!

Note that this does not come with 110V USA voltage. You'll need a step-up transformer.
