This is Some type of Elmo set-up, it appears to include an Elmo Super-8 camera, plus an Elmo Double--8 camera with what looks to be a 16mm magazine?

Anyone have more info about what exactly this camera does?

I do. Its the Elmo Tri-filmatic. It original was designed to have 3 interchangeable backs, one for Super 8, one for Regular 8 (25ft spools only) and one for Single 8 carts. You literally can change formats on the fly. A few years later Elmo developed a Double Super 8 back which is what you see in the picture. It can use up to 100ft spools. It is easily the most ingenious camera ever made, only if they went all out with a interchangeable C-mount [img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img] I had one with the DS8 back a few years ago but returned it cause the light meter was toast.

I just saw 35mm kodachrome 25 cut down to super 8, I think about 5 rolls. I would bid on it, but it was included with a beaulieu camera. Can you imagine how great that'd look? I wonder how much it costs?

Ask the seller. He posts as "Yemi" all the time on the other groups like shooting 8mm forum. Martin at Plattsburg photographic is the one who loaded those K25 cartridges. I have some K25 DS8 that I may have him load up sometime.
