While repacking family antiques i found an unexposed role of Kodak Kodachrome II Super 8 date develop before 1972 still sealed and never in heat of sunlight. What are the chances of it still being usable after all these years? Yah, I know...fat chance. Nice box and packaging.

Looks nice. But, why are you selling it?

Great skating. Your guys are all 10 feet tall and bullet proof. We know how many rolls of film it took but how many rolls of band aids did they use? Young guys heal between falls. Good work. I enjoyed it a lot.

I trust it is in English. I would love a copy. If you want it available for the entire community you can post it on http://Super8aid.net/. Please PM me for a way to download manual. ken wood

I put my two Beaulieu S8 cameras on eBay today: 2008S in fair shape 3008S in near mint condition PM me if you need the link or search eBay.

Anyone have an EZ source for 700ft Super 8 reels? I need some.

It's working now. I just got in using FireFox.

Thank you, Dan. I have never been to the Micro-Tools. Good stuff. I now have a new wish list.

So, the KII is suitable for framing? Nice antique. Anyone have ANY info on what kind lube to use in S8 cameras?

Recently I found a mostly pristine Super8 camera in a antique store. I spent $18 on it. It's a Kobena 421. I had never heard of it before. Rather well made. Almost all metal parts. The gears are all brass. One nice feature is the AA batteries go in their own separate holder which is then clipped into the rear of the camera. When I got it home and into a bright light I found that it had been dropped. Slight ding in rim of lens. No problem with lens but the main metal platform that holds the lens and other parts was bent. So, I disassembled and figured out a way to straighten the part. I also cleaned the brass gears and all glass. Surprisingly, I got it all back together and everything works. Meter Ok after new 1.35 Wein battery installed. My question is what should I use to lube the gears? Motor runs nicely but sounds a bit dry. I have some pictures of this little gem but they are at my office. I post a link to them later. btw: The Kobens even had a partially used Kodak II cart left in it. Guess I'll use it up and see what was already on it. Thanks for your help.

It would decrease the value of the one I own and all the ones Mitch Perkins owns. Humor included.

Matthew, My Son gave me a Sony Digital 8 DCR-TRV280 for Christmas. I works great. It only lacks AV In so I can't use it with a helmet cam. Still working on a work-a-round for this. Supports iLink and USB. Comes with software. Piece of cake to transfer to PC. I think you can find this item for around $225. Tapes are cheap. This is not the latest hardware but the price is certainly right. ken wood

I think any standard tripod will work. I have the 814e and it works on all my 35mm tripods. For sound I am using Sony's MZ RH1 HiMD minidisc and mics that I made using electret mics. Minidiscs are fairly cheap. I paid $325 for this one and the 1GB optical media disc can be had for $5-$7. Editing software is the expensive part. Sony now has professional rated software but it costs an arm and leg; Sound Forge Editing s/w is about $275, and Sony Vegas +DVD starts at $575 unless you are a student and can prove it. Of course, there are many other softwares available, especially if you are using a Mac. I can't help you on choosing film stock. Suggest you go to Kodak.com and poke around.
