bell & howell super8 projector model 266ex

[bgadow]

I've got a bunch of stuff up this alley, but I am quite the amateur. I've had several B+H 8mm machines (mostly dual 8) but none worked right for long. They didn't look like this one, though. I finally picked up a GAF that does well, but now needs a belt. I researched and found what I needed, but for some reason never ordered it. Now I have to search again!

Last year I was given all the projectors from my old elementary school...if I didn't take them they were going in the dumpster. There were 3 16mm sound projectors, all working: an Elmo (which I gave to a friend), a Viewex (nothing special) and a Singer. I thought that last one would be junk but I really like it. If I needed one I'd keep it, but I have a good working 50s Filmosound and a rather late model B+H manual load (I think it is dated '79) so that is really enough. (especially since I only pull them out maybe once every year or so)

One of the neatest things in the pile from the school turned out to be some reels of super 8 that were done by some 6th graders in the early 80s. They were about 4-5 years ahead of me. From watching them it seems clear that there was sound...I need to find a sound 8 projector now. (I had one once before but junked it for some reason)
