Simple. There are two perennial classics & universally proven machines for projecting Super 8:

• For home use, the Eumig Mark 610D (100W bulb, 18 fps, silent). A small machine built like a tank that never makes trouble and never chokes on the film you feed it.

• For professional use (cinema or outdoor projection), the Elmo GS-1200, the only Super 8 projector with a 250W xenon bulb. Supports each and every feature of Super 8, including stepless 16-26fps speeds and sound, but is technically much more complex than the 610D.

I own the elmo. It's a work of art...which is why I didn't sell it, even though it goes for upwards of a grand, which is probably out of your market. And it'll cost you 10 times the eumig. Another good projector is the elmo st180. The elmo gs1200 does variable speed...down to a frame a second, if you're interested to telecine your footage. Or if your interested in auditorium projection then the elmo is about your only choice, along with the beautiful but notoriously difficult heurtier 42. But to make it simple....an elmo or a eumig, and then a prayer it will work !

Anyone know if the Eumig Mark 610D requires and adapter of some kind to play Super 8? I found one on ebay but the seller seems unsure if it's missing and adapter to play super 8.

I have a beautiful Elmo ST600m that just needs a new belt if interested!
