One I didn’t know about

Spotted this on eBay USA. I thought the Toei Talkie was the only opt/ mag machine for St 8

The sad thing is that we'll never know as to how many features were released on standard 8mm optical sound. I know of only one, "Future world", which I saw on ebay many years ago.

Jason once posted beautiful pictures of that projector : https://8mmforum.film-tech.com/cgi-b...=012026#000000

This Elmo OM-8 projector is most likely designed for the Toei 8 format which was popular in Japan rather than the superior Maurer 8 format which was popular in Europe. If you look closely you can see the magnetic/optical adjustment to change the aperture size for the smaller Toei 8 optical sound frame.

On closer inspection it is basically a TP8 with only two sprockets, for some reason they have dropped the one below the gate. Unfortunately they are 100 volt , so not suitable for UK.

Elmo made standard 8mm optical sound? Once again, learning something new in 8mm!
