This is for me, not minor wear. I think at least Mr. Hardy would agree :-)

I agree Vidar, that's not minor wear.

There's a thread on 8mm Film Tech, in which a member is criticised for his descriptions of projectors on Ebay. I think the projector was an Eiki NT1, and the seller said it was the best; with a 2 claw pull down. Members were asking , how can a 2 pull claw down of the Eiki be better than the 3 claw pull down of B&H; also David Guest joined in the conversation saying that each time the seller advertises a projector he describes it as the Rolls Royce of projectors, regardless of what make/model, etc. a bit further down on the 16mm page David Guest states that he is putting the best ever 16mm projector on Ebay: another member provided the link to Ebay. Turns out to be an Eiki RT1. So it would appear that this is the Rolls Royce of projectors, and a question, if I was still in that forum would be 'Are two claws better than three?'.

Well said Robert, I think I' be sticking my "two claws" up at the suggestion that the Eiki or "Elf" is the Rolls Royce of 16mm, hardly.
A workmanlike machine, but not gentle with film to the extent of other projectors, put it down to sales talk, I have the same projector,
but prefer B&H any day. The film Vidar spotlights, is just like the 8mm films I had after their encounter with the "Horipet" scratch machine.

Was the Bauers also with more claws?

Interesting (but terribly misleading) how some eBay sellers will use the same description over and over to describe a product.Chalk it up to laziness (or ignorance of items being sold.) Either way buyer beware I say.

I didn't like that David Guest was criticing the seller, Robert Tucker, then doing the same thing himself.

Regarding Vidar's enquiry of number of claws on the Bauer, I don't know, but they are a very nice machine Vidar by all accounts and
much sought after. I'll check that question out.

Hi Vidar, the Bauer's are three claw machines.
