I've got this very same machine and it's a blast!
Once you get used to it (not very difficult), shooting film gets very inexpensive...
Buying the film in DS8 (through Wittner) gives you perfectly working single-8 cartridges at ridiculous prices: around 3 euros for B&W and 7 in colour. And you can put any emulsion you want!

Hello Avortex,
what do you mean you have the very same rig? Did you make one yourself the same, or where you able to buy one form somewhere?
A series of very clever and simple engineering solutions there. its very impressive.

This technical marvel was made by a spanish collector as a prototype, but no more models were made. I purchased this very same machine (exactly the one that appears on the video) last year, and it made possible for me to shoot K25 in a single-8 camera. Love it.
