You can get printed copies from here in the UK, both instruction manual and repair manual.
I thoroughly recommend this company whom I have used for many years. Bell and Howell 33SR Printed Manual (camera-manual.com)
The Bell & Howell 33SR is the same as the 33ST, but the 33ST can record on two sound tracks.
This is almost identical to the Fujicascope SD-Auto, though that one is a twin-track. https://super8database.com/projectors/801
The B&H 33ST is the twin-track version.
The biggest weakness, IMO, is the 2W sound output. Even when I connect the line-out to an external amp and speaker, I often need to turn the volume of both the amp and the projector all the way up, depending on the soundtrack of the film. The other models I just mentioned perhaps have better audio power.
Other than that, I think the B&H versions are the best kept secrets in Super 8. With the stock F1.3 lens, and the 100 watt EFP lamp, I get a picture that rivals my Elmo ST-1200HD (with an F1.1 lens) in terms of brightness. I'd rank this right up there with the Sankyo models that get more press (and command higher prices.) Too bad the capacity is only 600 feet, though, but that's not an issue for me. I've been keeping my eye out for a faster lens -- most I think will be branded as Yelco. Just need to check the diameter of the barrel, since I have a Yamawa-made Fujicascope that is very similar, but the lens barrel has a narrower diameter. There are some great Fujinon lenses out there, some F1.0 -- the key is if they will fit your model. I'm not ready to pay $250 for one right now -- I am patient.
