Yep - we have one of those and they are just fantastic
projectors..one of the best regular 8mm projectors I
have yet to use. I can't say enough about them but I
will say that the image is clear and bright, and very
easy on older, shrunken film. We have a zoom lens
attachment that enlarges the picture to 16mm-size
blow-ups. Our 1940s-era model has outlasted several
plastic machines from later dates, and perfect for
transfer. It's a wonder why the Revere is overlooked.

As you could probably tell...I do recommend the
Revere.
