Yes down from $95 at a clearance sale - I think it's a Double Super 8 camera - but could it be Double 8 - I think there was such a thing wasn't there?- and if so how do I tell the difference? I first thought it was 16mm then I saw the small gate - and the instructions printed on the spool to flip it. It's spring wound and in alright condition - can anyone tell me anymore about these - I haven't been able to trawl up anything on the net about this specific model, does anyone have a manual by any chance? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
Scot M

I am guessing here, based on your description, that it is a "double 8" NOT a double super 8. (The difference is in the size of the sprocket holes). Double 8 is usually spool fed, while DOuble super 8 is loaded in a 'cassete' (Someone else may correct me on this)
Double 8 film is 16 millimeter film, with extra sprocket holes. You can still buy it and have it processed.
