The problem there is anyone who has got a snipe lined up will beat your ten seconds. You should consider using it. I do and it's won me some stuff I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have won otherwise.

Got it,
Not bad but missing the Film Guide and Pressure pad for viewing Standard-8 film, the one I have has an S on it and only seems to run the super 8 film, so if anyone knows where I can get one that would be great!
Otherwise I find it hard to tell the difference between the three film types, but I am very new to all this.
I also don’t have a sound movie to test the sound yet, as I mainly wanted it to look at old home movies of England, people, cars, streets etc..
I have told the seller its missing this guide, but I doubt he has it, it looks like he was clearing a relatives shed.
Oh well I didn’t pay much.

Hope someone here can help,

Thanks all. [set5_b/set5_b/cheers2.gif]
Colin. PS Makes me laugh Dan has me down as a Film Expert as I know nothing about them [set5_b/set5_b/rofl.gif]

OMG! The EBay seller has just refunded about 80% of my money as he hasn’t got the part, what a great guy! [set5_b/set5_b/iagree.gif]
So it looks like i need to find one myself, :idea: Google ?

You have officially become a "film Expert" [set5_b/set5_b/party.gif]

I have created the 8mm Parts category you suggested too. [set5_b/set5_b/sifone.gif]

Colin, did two sets of sprockets come with the 810?

Yes Dan, I got the sprockets, thanks for adding the Wanted section (although you didn’t have to make it just for 8mm)
I have posted my Wants’ in your new category.
Cheers [set5_b/set5_b/cheers2.gif]
