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. 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.

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.
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. Maurice -------------------- Maurice IP: Jedi Master Film Handler From: Ontario, Canada Registered: Apr 2008 posted April 17, 2008 09:39 AM Thanks so much Paul! Quick and detailed!!
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. Face Rig Download Mac Free. 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.

By Stephanie Marriott February 2003 - Eumig P8 projectors Eumig P8 projectors are porbably the commonest projector around today. This demonstrates how popular they were when new. The P8 was one of the first projectors to use a so-called 'cold lamp' i.e. Low voltage and high wattage.
The lamp was smaller, easier to focus and, as it produced less heat, it was easier to cool the projector and film. All of the P8 projectors take up to a 400 ft. Reel and were supplied with a wire take-up reel with sprung film retainers. The P8 range all have variable speed. The first P8 appeared in 1955. It has a 25 mm.
Rewind is manual and, as with all the P8 machines, the film is wound back onto the feed reel back to front. This is no problem unless you wish to use other projectors as well as the P8, in which case it is a nuisance.
Lamp: A1/186 12 v. In 1957 a sound attachment was introduced. The Phonomat synchronised a tape recorder with the projector. It also provided powered rewind for the projector. In 1958 the Eumig P8 Imperial appeared. It had a 20 mm. F/1.4 lens and a built-in tape synchroniser.

Lamp: A1/215 quartz halogen. The range seems to have been discontinued in about 1966 (not long after the introduction of Super-8) Further Information Photographic Pages Useful Pages - with details of recent updates to the Marriott site Catalogues Web www.marriottworld.com ©F.
