From the owner:
Machine works, and I have lots of spare parts. New mag soundhead, and
various solutions for projection lamps. It has the tube sound system in it,
but I have a spare solid state system that uses a more common mag head, but
the tube type mag head is fairly new.
Yes, the films are the real value. 36 of the best are loaded. I have lots of
extra films that could be for sale, or I'll put them on eBay.
I would hate this to be scrapped for the films. It is a working French St-36
machine.
The machine weighs a lot, but it breaks down into pieces, and I have moved
it to two basements with only myself and one other.
All of the loaded films have had their leaders changed from curly film with
emulsion to flat plastic leader for improved threading reliability.
For the right price, and if someone wants the whole package, I'll throw in a
film editing package with splicer, and a mag-sound projector for viewing the
other films.
