Howdy All! I was thinking of getting a back up projector, but I've decided to look into getting a new main (at least new to me)Super 8 Sound Projector and making my current projector my back up. I'll be spending a little more $, so I'll buying in two months or so. That way I can do my homework and save up a little extra cash! Would love some input from my 8mm Forum WorldWide Friends. I need an output to run sound to a seperate source (powered speaker/PA) Would like variable speed and just a good solid running projector. Possibly a pro refurb. This is to become my main projector, so I'm guessing somewhere in the $300.00 price range. Any input is always appreciated! Thanks All! Tim Tim |

Tim, I used a super 8 Minolta for years before it finally gave up the ship. Was asked to rebuild a GAF projector which was crap from the beginning. You're best bet is to find either an older Minolta or Elmo. A GAF machine will rip your films to shreds. |

Forgot to mention that I had a Chinon projector that I used for almost 5 years. It was the model that included optical sound prints. Was a great projector but the image floated at bit. Still, it never broke on me and the only thing I replaced was the lamp. If you're looking into getting into this format then I could only reccomend the Minolta or Chinon projectors. Just from my experience. |

Thanks for the info Erik- It's much appreciated. Any particular Chinon/Minolta models? |

My Minolta was the Sound 6000. The Chinon I had was very similar to the Minolta but included optical sound as well as magnetic. I sold that projector so I have no way of getting the model number on it. |

Hi Tim, I have an Elmo ST 1200 HD if you'd like. This one could be your main projector (unless you use a GS 1200). This is the next best thing. I have a Chinon SP 330MV mint in box also. 600' capacity. Of course, I have pics of the two machines. John |
