Beaulieu Cameras

What are some users opinions about Beaulieu cameras. I have the opportunity to buy a Beaulieu s2008 with a Angenieux 8-64. It's been modified to use AA batteries. Camera looks to be in excellent shape. Guy wants $100.00.

Is this a good deal?

Thanks everyone.

Cartridge Jams

I've recently purchased a supr-8 camera and have run only two rolls through. On both occassions the film would lock up constantly. I had to take the cartridge out of the camera and force the jam manually. Both rolls were Kodachrome 40 with Marche, 2003 dates.
