  1. thanks Jamie for the info, I will definitely buy from this seller now I think.... :D
  2. it is a shame there isn't more places in the united states selling good super 8 cameras besides pro 8, du-all, e-bay, and maybe a few more that I can't think of right now. It seems that the demand for these cameras is sky rocketing every day and the prices is also going very high, especially for used cameras, that some of the major companies would start back making them again and Kodak would wake up and start back making color reversal film again. I guess they think the profit margin would not be high enough though....I am still looking for a Canon 814 or 1014xl-s if anyone has one for sale...
  3. has anyone out there had any dealings with a place called cheap super 8 camera shop in Germany??? I am looking to buy a canon 814 or 1014xls and this place has some really excellent prices, but i am kind of skepticle about it because i have not heard of them except through a web search???
  4. I have some money coming in about a week, and I may contact you about one of your cameras, you said it was a model ms didn't you?? the one I have now I bought it off e-bay and I am really afraid about doing that again....
  5. I wonder who has them for that price?? everywhere I see them for about a $1000.00 or more, and du-all is the only place I know of that has them..please share if you would where I can get one for that price...
  6. wow, that to me is wonderful footage, I just wish mine was half as good as yours...even before the crazy speed problem my flicker was awful, even when setting exposure manually....I have a bolex rex 1 and I love that camera except for the winding, that's why I bought the scoopic. I am thinking maybe the problem lies somewhere in the circuit board, the filming amp to be exact. I have a work manual and the schematic shows an integrated circuit on the board that is part of the filming motor's feedback control, along with diodes, resistors and such. that IC has transistors made into it and maybe one of those is bad or something, anyways I think off to du-all it goes......hopefully they have experience repairing the boards if necessary....thanks for the replies...
  7. thanks for the reply...I know that it does not have crystal sync, it's really funny the way the camera acts, it started out as a flicker I could notice when I would project my films made with it and now it's got worse and doing this crazy speed thing...I probably will have to send it back to du-all and maybe they can get to the bottom of it, I was hoping someone has had this experience with one of these cameras before...I hate to part with this camera because if you seen it you would think it was new, other than the age of it, and also I know my batteries are good too because they have been recelled with ni-mh cells.....
  8. hello everyone!!! i'm new to this forum so here goes...I have a scoopic 16m and occasionally when you first activate the shutter the camera runs really fast for a second or two then goes to normal speed. it seems to do it more at 24fps but I have noticed it at other speeds as well and sometimes while i'm shooting it will speed up as well....I have recently had it serviced at du-all camera and when I sent it to them it had a slight flicker problem, but obviously it has got worse...has anyone else experienced this with a scoopic????
