I have an opportunity to pick up a Eumig P8 Automatic Novo Dual Voltage projector for cheap. I've heard good things about the Eumig name but I haven't had a chance to look at it yet to see if its in good condition. Anybody have any further info on this model?

Eumig's are great projectors, and the Eumig P8 is a fine little silent machine. It was the first 8mm projector I ever owned and, at that time, it was noted for its beautiful compact design and excellent screen 12 volt 100 watt illumination - brighter than mains voltage 300 watt projectors back then. It was a real break-through design, the one that established Eumig as the leader in 8mm projector design. Tekken 7 Apk. Weebly. Com. Eumig sold thousands of them across the world -it was like the mini car of the cine world! It does not have the modern halogen lighting, so even though it has good illumination for its time, brightness is not quite up to modern standards. But a 40 ins silver screen should be fine.

It is very kind to films and is a good machine for silent regular 8mm (NOT Super 8mm) film projection at 18fps. It will run at 24 fps but is rather noisy at this speed. The machine was originally produced in the late 1950's, and as with all things, Eumig improved upon it in their later series 700, 800, and 900 silent and sound projectors which all had halogen lighting. I'm not sure if bulbs are still available for this machine. They probably are, but check with the Top Bulb or Don's Bulbs web pages. Here is an ad for the P8 from a 1958 edition of Amateur Cine World: -------------------- The best of all worlds- 8mm, super 8mm, 9.5mm, and HD Digital Projection, IP: Film God From: Bristol. United Kingdom Registered: Oct 2007 posted April 17, 2008 09:39 AM Terry The P8 shown in Paul's pic is the earlier version of the projector that you're interested in.
Art Machine Software there. The P8 Automatic Novo hails from the mid 60s and used an Iodine Quartz 100 watt lamp running at 12 volts. Here, in the UK, its number was A1/215. There is also a 'Phonomatic' version which has the addition of a built-in synchroniser to enable a reel-to-reel tape recorder to regulate the projector speed for synchronised sound and picture. I had a P8 new in 1959 [as shown in Paul's pic] and it was a delightful machine. I hope you enjoy yours if you buy it. I recommend that you do.

The person selling it seems to think it's a sixties model but it looks like it may be an older one. I have an ancient Bell and Howell 253 for my reg8's and another Dual 8 machine but they only run at 18fps.
I was hopeing to find a machine that will run at 24fps. I'll have to think about this one, might be a good idea to see what else comes up. Cheers Terry Oh more info. Thanks Maurice.
So it is a sixties machine, I may just have to look into it's condition as the seller had no picture in their ad.

Still pretty, though.

Same for some later Eumig reels with cool circle cut-outs. Probabaly 600'.
