Default Re: Bolex SP80 Special Projector.

With regards to the reels...

Standard 8 reel centres are the same diameter as domestic quarter inch audio tape reel centres.

Super 8/Single 8 are larger.. if the projector is dual standard then the spindles will have removable adapters fitted to the standard 8 size spindles.

So if your presented with a reel and not sure what it's for, then look at the reel centres.
