If you don't, this will certainly give it to you:

A very interesting blog about the various projectors for Super 8 sound. I discovered this about a year ago. Until I had read this, I had no idea there existed Super 8 projectors intended for professional theater projection. (See part 10.)

Thanks for the link Thomas, like Evind's super8databse, it is a very good and informative group of articles. This link would be worth adding to the the super8database for anyone who wanted to get into hobby and find a meaningful article on projectors rather than look at some fanatical forum collectors on various platforms who, in many cases, believe only THEIR projectors are worthy.
It would be a good addition to the already excellent projector's tab on the database. An awful lot of work has gone into it by those who look after it. For anyone who still hasn't looked, your missing out. This link is just one tiny part of the database which is constantly being added to.

You're welcome guys. It might be worth saving all that info to your local disk since you never know when it might disappear.

One thing I learned from there is about pull-down speeds. I never considered that a factor, nor did I know which projectors had faster pull-downs. That could be why I find some of my 100 watt Yamawa machines just as bright as my Elmo ST-1200 with its 150 watt lamp.

Thanks for that. I usually look here https://www.filmkorn.org/super8data/ and here https://van-eck.net/en/spare-part-finder/ for information on projectors.
