I now have a chinon sound 7000 projector and a few reels. My question is a simple one - can this projector play standard and super 8mm reels?

The MV (multi-voltage) takes the 12 volt EFP 100 watt lamp. Without the MV (US and Canada only), it takes the 120 volt DNE 150 watt lamp. Many of their other models follow that same convention. It saved them a few bananas (no transformer) to have the lamp run off mains voltage. The DNEs burn out quickly, though.
If you decide you want to play Standard 8mm too, don't jump in without doing some research here, followed by questions. Whatever you do, don't buy a sprocketless dual-8 projector! Or any other sprocketless projector!
