There was something similar to this called the Technicolor cartridge projector. It ran Super 8 film in a contiuous loop in a cartridge. I saw one at a local flea market recently but it did not have any cartridges with it. They were used in training centers and I remember using one at a company I did training at years ago.

Bell & Howell had this system...Auto-8. I often see new Auto-8 cartridges and projectors on eBay. I believe they never took off.

The only thing I remember super-8 used for looping was for seedy places.

Remember Rowe jukeboxes? Some of them had a Super 8mm projector built in so when you pay it to play a song, a short Super-8 porn flick project onto the wall from the jukebox looping the movie until the song ends. 8O

Before these were jukeboxes which had a 16mm projector that ran a short musical film, usually of a jazz group.

Ah, here we are, they were called Scopitones. Here is a website about them:

I have about 20 of them and hundreds of cartridges.

I've got an ancient Technicolor cartridge projector along and some Ealing science loops. Has anyone tried reloading these cartridges w/ their own loops? I took one apart but couldn't figure out how it works.

I have a large box of old educational cartridges, but the two projectors that came with them died years ago. I recently found a Technicolor 500 cartridge projector, but none of the cartridges seem to fit. Does anyone know if there was a change in format along the way, perhaps with the shift to Super 8? I love my goofy old classroom movies, and I'd like to screen them again.

Thanks,

I found one of these technicolor projectors at a chevy dealership my dad was demolishing. It had no carts for it, so I killed it. The one I had came with a big plastic molded case which had a big fresnal type screen on it..

The 500 was for Regular 8 film. You need a 510, 580, etc. for the Super 8 cartridges.
