This is it! Going back to the good old days of seeing an old jerky 8mm movie in the comfort of your home.
Back in the mid-1970s, I'd got a good friend (a former schoolmate) who'd won this made-in-Japan Naigai 8mm movie sound projector as a prize from a newspaper contest.
He'd borrowed a reel of b/w documentary movie from the British Council and invited me to his home to enjoy a private screening. Man, this friend of mine then handed me this projector as a gift to bring it home!
I didn't screen any movie with this projector since then and kept it in its original carton-box until today. It's some kind of a dinosaur now and I don't know if its mechanism still works. But then, where do you find those old reels of 8mm movies today?
Latest Information: This movie projector has been sold on December 23 to an excellent customer who has traveled a great distance to collect it from my place of residence. Sold!
