Default Re: Bolex SP80 Special Projector.

Under the skin it's a Eumig 800 series. If it was dual guage there would be an adaptor on the feed spool and a set of alternative gates and sprockets stored inside the front cover.

Most users understand 'dual gauge' to be standard and super 8, but that didn't stop later super only machines being described as 'dual gauge' because they could also show the dimensionally identical Fuji single 8.

It's a bit like Coleman who describe their lamps as 'dual fuel' when the 2 fuels are in fact Colman fuel (petrol) and petrol! Not as one might casually assume petrol and paraffin.
