Hello there,

So after collecting and watching 16mm films for a while I feel like diving into the 8mm world as I have a few Standard 8mm and Super8mm films lying around.

My question is what projector would you guys recommend, considering they're all second hand nowadays and so taking possible running conditions into consideration, which Dual 8mm sound projector would you recommend from the Eumig and B&H brands? Which mnodel is more likely to have common issues (like the worm gear issue on the 16mm B&H machines).

For the Eumig I was looing into the S807D or S810D but having all the extra parts for the film change over (gears, fim gate etc) could be tricky and not all there.
Don't know much about the B&H models.

Any advice would be very helpful.

Thanks
Regards,
Can
