I have located a seller in Norway who is willing to sell me an Elmo ST-180M that belonged to his late uncle, but sadly, he doesn't know anything about it, other than that it works.

Anyone here with info about this model?

Edit:
And while I'm on that subject, can anyone tell me which model this is:

The machine you mention is well known. It is also known as ST600M.
The 180 stands for 180 metres film capacity; the 600 for 600 ft, which of course is the same. The M stands for magnetic sound.This is a two track mono machine;I've modified mine for Stereo output to external amplifiers.
I confirm that they are brilliant projectors; you will find a user manual here (choose ST600, covers variants).

The other machine looks very "Eumig"; probably a clone, but which model? Similar to models in the 9XX range, with the drive wheels low down at the rear ant the main Operating "Clunker" at the front..

The picture is a Yamawa, Japan Super 8 film projector.
They did appear under different brands, e.g. Yelco 600-Series (603 or 607)
180m/600ft. reel capacity; 12V 100W EFP bulb.
Red push button for film threading changed to orange on some brands.
