I know that the 33SR is a pretty basic sound projector but how well is it made?

I used a B&H 33ST for several years in the early 1980s, which is pretty similar to the 33SR, but allows recording and playback on both the main and balance stripes. The SR is main track only....
As far as how well made goes, mine had very little use when I got it, and it ran great for years. Very smooth and quiet running.
These were basic super 8 models often seen for sale in department stores around my area back then.

I have shifted my attention to the Eumig S 810 duel 8 sound machine. I knew by looking at the 33sr that it was pretty much a basic machine. Thanks for the input.
