One would think that nothing would stand in the way of many nice movie evenings….įrom now on it gets a little frustrating 🙁 After everything was done I started searching for all the cool old movies I wanted to watch. The flywheel is spinning forever and everything is much quieter! I also fixed the recording button, it was very fickle and you had to give it a few good presses for audio to work. So that could easily be cleaned and re greased! Now everything is much smoother. I could even do something here! The lubricant in a lot of places was gone, thick or crusty. The image is a lot cleaner now! Very interesting how this worksĮxtremely interesting how a projector works. I gave it a good cleaning, especially around the lamp and lenses. I was lucky and everything was there Very interesting!Įven on the inside everything was fine. They can be found on the inside of the case. This kit is often missing and would make the projector be worth way less. I later learned that there is a kit included to retrofit the projector to play other 8mm formats. So what would someone like me do? Of course take it apart, maybe there is still something left to fix! Everything included! Even the movies that were included are in mint condition, no redness, no artifacts and perfect image and sound. I was almost a little bit sad, the thing was in almost perfect condition and works perfectly well. It is already running and tested – everything wars flawlessly – how boring 😉 I settled with projectors from Eumig from around 1970.Īnd I did find the one I wanted to have, the Eumig Mark S 807 D, which I found together with 5 films, an old school projection table and screen for around 70€ It would also need to have magnetic sound. I did find a few good manufacturers and the time span that was most interesting to me. There is more to 8mm than Super 8, there is also Standard and Single 8. More on that a bit later.įirst things first – so I started researching and trying to settle on a manufacturer and model. It did sound like something that could interest me, but a few setbacks were sure to follow. Amiga completed, Libretto completed – time for a new hobby!
