Hi John,
Standard 8 in my opinion, was always very good gauge, we only had one duff print and that was a full length colour feature of Great day in the Morning. The image was outstanding with the colours looking like 16mm technicolour. This was an ex library print from Movieland International here in Plymouth, sadly, it fell down badly on the sound, it was very muffled, i'm sure today it could easily be rerecorded but back in the day we kept it for a few viewings and moved it on. We also have the full length James Stewart western Winchester 73. Distant Drums 4 x 400ft and also Bugles in the Afternoon which we now have on 16mm, so this title is one we will sell should you be interested. Fireball XL5 400ft, L&H in county Hospital as well as a rare 400ft L&H in Midnight Patrol, and Thicker than water. Stingray is Launched 400ft. It tends to be only my Brother who views these as hew has all the Eumig duel gauge projectors.
Personally, i would like to get my hands on a decent Standard 8 only sound projector.

Hi Tom
Thanks for your response to my request. I just love St8 and have loved collecting over the years. Unfortunately the titles you have for disposal are already in my collection, however Winchester 73 has eluded me and should you at some point decide to sell I would love to buy! Regarding St8 only machines, I have a spare Kodak 8 that I may decide to part with. I can thoroughly recommend this model , they are kind to film , manual threading and robust construction. I need however to convert the lighting the 12v 100 watt dichroic type, at the moment it’s running the spaceman type lamp which require a second mortgage to buy! Will let you know when it’s completed.
Thanks again John
