In Reply to: Super 8mm projector posted by Lamar Pettus on January 12, 2002 at 08:12:01:
: I want to buy a working Super 8 mm projector or locate a repair facility or a place to order parts for a Vivitar Super 8/8mm projector. My efforts on to locate a source have not been successful. Any help would be appreciated. Have a Happy New Year. Lamar
You'll be able to buy a working Super 8mm projector cheaper on eBay than what it will cost to find parts for your Vivitar movie projector which is almost surely 20+ years old. The only parts source for old photo equipment is cannibalizing an identical non-working unit. Unfortunately the same parts often fail on the same pieces of equipment. (Who says design engineers ain't smart!)
