Always knew they existed. Very few standard 8mm films out there though. The only one i can honestly remember seeing, believe it or not, was "Futureworld" which, when i wrote the seller, he did confirm with pics that it was in fact, standard 8mm optical sound.

It's interesting that this rare projector was sold by a popular British High Street chain of photographic shops, Dixons, according to the box.

How common was optical sound on Standard 8?

Yes, I often used to go into Dixons but never remember seeing one of these!

Strangely, though I had never seen one before, I saw 2 (or the same one twice) at the 9.5 events this year.
