Someone gave me this Bell & Howell Dual Autoload projector a few years ago and it’s been in a closet since then. It can play both 8mm and Super 8 gauges. Took it out today and gave it a good cleaning, dusting and assessed the gears. Bulb works, but it needs new grease to get it up to the proper frame rate.
What’s on the 50ft reel? A German Bugs Bunny cartoon. The packaging was common for audio-cassettes in North America but 8mm reels usually came in cardboard boxes (and later clamshells).
I have an insane stockpile of 8mm, Super 8 and 16mm projectors and recently started going through them to assess their condition. I really don’t have the storage space any more so it’s time to sell them and just keep one functioning machine for each gauge.
