thanks for any help u can provide, in return i'll give you a million pounds*

super 8 was designed mainly for 18 fps operation, which means a three bladed projector to give the 54 fps needed to maintain persistence of vision.
There might be some exotic Elmo designed purely to project 24 fps pre-recorded sound movies, but tracing one down, and then affording it might prove problamatic.
Of course, it might be possible to convert a projector capable of 24 fps, but with a three bladed shutter to two blade.
while there seems to be a lot of information around about cameras, info on projectors tends to be thinner on the ground.

Most,if not all projectors can be converted to two bladed operation.However its not just a case of slicing off one of the existing blades.
What is required is a newly fabricated shutter with just two blades equally located on its axis.No its not rocket science but does require some thought to the process.Bright-scene flicker will also be noticeable.
What has been done however on a regular basis is the leading edges of three bladed shutters have been carefully cut back to allow more light onto the screen.This will increase the apparent flicker though on very bright sequences of film.A fair trade -off considering the light increase given.
