Andy_Alderslade Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Hi, Need to buy a new Super 8 projector, which won't break the bank, infact after recent projects i'm close to broke. Not really interested in sound, or the need to project in a large room. Just need a projector that is acceptably bright and will not scratch the film. Been browsing on ebay and they seem pricier than they were a few years ago. Cheers, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Anderson Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 hop on craigslist and hit some estate sales in your area. dead people love super 8 stuff. I picked up a GAF super 8 projector with tags still on it for $8, haggled down from $10. Opened it up and looked like it had never even been set up. Ebay will be way overpriced just because there is a market. garage sales and swap meets are the way to go..... kirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Oliver Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hi, go to a uk camera fair, get there early, sometimes you get lucky, average price for a eumig 610d mint is £10.00, i've seen them for ten times that amount on ebay. Remember most projectors only have 100 watt lighting, they look very dim next to a video projector. A projector that wont break the bank with good light output for 100watt lamp is a noris 110, noris special d, noris 332 or 342. Elmo st160 or eumig 810 are good projectors. Whats your budget??

Hopefully just under £100. Where do you find out about UK camera fairs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Oliver Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 (edited) Hi, here is a list of uk still/35mm/vintage camera fairs, i must stress, there is usually very little cine, but sometimes you get lucky. http://www.calnecc.co.uk/whatson.htm last week a dealer was selling an elmo st160 or st600, cant remember, boxed, slightly used, but with original elmo lamp, which should indicate hardly any use!! Gate area was a bit dusty, would class the projector as mint minus. That was selling for £100.00, but you should be able to knock at least a tenner off. I picked up an elmo 912 editor, mint, for £10.00. Andy Edited July 10, 2006 by k25rip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
