Hi looking for one of the Dual gauge silent bolexes I think 8/3 or similar are the types. Usual 2 reel set up type one.

A nice little used quiet one would be the job and reasonable if possible please.

Thanks Mark.

PS anyone used one of these by the way please. Thanks.

I know bolex did dual gauge G series for 8/16 and 16/9.5 but did they ever do dual gauge 8mm? I can't think of one. Can anyone come up with a model?

Just googled it and they made the model 18-9 (Normal & Super 8) Is that the one you're looking for?

Hi Terry that sounds right, its a Eumig underneath and I`ve been a bit lucky as a friend who is also on the forum and who is super kind has just offered me a nice one as a gift.

Its a Eumig 614D and will be just the job.

Thanks Mark.

Hi Terry thanks for the link, I think that might be the one with the 1.0 lens if anyone fancies it. 18mm I think. Anyone know ?

I may have an OK Mark 8 Eumig as back up organised. Hope it has all the parts. Cheap and hopefully cheerful.

Thanks again for the kind link.

Best Mark.
