In Reply to: 8mm Sound Projector Recommendation posted by Ken Kaufman on November 25, 2001 at 22:33:13:

: Hello all,

: I am looking for a Super 8 sound projector with variable speed. I am transferring some old home movies to tape. The majority of the films are silent and I have had pretty good success with my Elmo dual projector. However, I also have about 5 or 6 super 8 films with sound. I have been searching on Ebay and most projectors have very minimal descriptions and most of the time the people selling don't know much about projectors. I was wondering if there anybody could recommend specific models of good sound projectors with variable speed. I don't need the best projector made, just a decent machine for $100 or less.

: Thanks for any suggestions.

Ken,

The best people to ask would be those Super 8mm enthusiasts who are still making home movies.

See Mike Brantley's homage to the art of Super 8mm filmmaking. http://www.super8filmmaking.com/ There's a forum there where others can make suggestions.

Andreas Widerĝe Andersen runs the Shooting 8mm web site. It also has a forum http://8mm.filmshooting.com/
