March 10, 2008 at 2:49 pm #1157456my dad used to be into making films but with (slightly) more modern kit..
check the ratings plate – these sorts of things (which were still around and in use in the 1970s/early 1980s) usually were 110V and came with a 230V-110V transformer..
the lamp is often 110V high wattage (look on google and there is loads of info about this particular model)
you will need a 110V transformer to run the thing (a yellow site transformer should do, provided its wired up correctly to a US trailing socket)
Also it will be the old 8mm not the Super 8mm which is more commonly found these days, unless Kodak made a conversion kit for these models around the 1960s (unlikely though).
You can still get the cameras and film for all these projectors! (although it may take some searching).
There is a confusing array of different “amateur/hobbyist” film formats – this link may be of use to anyone who wants to collect this stuff..

I gave up on the idea as the old 8mm film reels were bloody expencive. There used to be a site cinema run by a groop of travelers on the festival circet in the 90s. Was run from a bus & a huge pantechnion truck. All they used was a supa 8mm.

All they used was a supa 8mm.Back then it was cheaper than digital stuff but technology has advanced greatly (at least once you sort out all the 50+ incompatible digital video formats/codecs and VGA drivers which can be a absolute fucking nightmare!!!)
Was well into that visuals/media stuff once but don’t have time for it nowadays unfortunately, still got the knowledge though…
You used to be able to pick up odd bits of 8mm film well cheaply (particularly offcuts, and industrial/training films) but it became a popular “retro format” so the old film kit is now a niche market for old boys who grew up with it (i.e age 40+) and new arts students, which has pushed up the price of the remaining gear (more so with cameras, as most stuff isn’t projected but scanned on teleciné and edited on computers)
Even today you can still get all the stuff though, even the original 8mm film (which is just 16mm film split down the middle with extra holes).
