I have a Eumig 810D purchased new in 1975. My only issue is that the soundhead runs against the film when showing silent films. I wore one head out when I projected a lot of early L&H comedies. I think they changed this in later models, so the soundhead would only come into contact with the film when showing sound.
Around this time one of the UKs cine mags conducted a test; using a loop of film, they had some machines running continuously, and worked out how many times a projector had shown the film before it started to show signs of disintegration. The Eumig came out second, first place was a Noris.
