8mm Film Projector

[David Henry]

Does anyone have an 8mm film projector they'd be willing to loan out?  My in-laws have some footage of what should be their wedding.  It's in a box of film reals with who knows what.  They'd like to be able to view it to identify what it is they want to convert and preserve.  They'd rather not pay Costco to convert a bunch of junk.

They hope to have wedding footage viewable for their 50th anniversary party in May.

I have a super 8 and a 16mm projector. I don't have the older 8mm. If they find any super 8 films they can use my projector.

They might still be able to. If I recall the difference between 8 and
super eight was no sprocket holes on one side. So a super 8 should run
the older 8.

I have them checking to see which orientation the "holes" have and if it's 8mm or "Super 8".

Based on the analysis using the side by side photos, it's most likely that this is standard 8mm film.

As I recall they were different so I agree with Roger the 8 mm were the same spacing is 16mm because the early 8 mm film was actually made by splitting 16mm. But that is different than the super eight

A beautiful theory killed by a lousy little fact.
