Re: Were regular 8mm film synchronizers ever made?
Hi!
As for counting frames or seconds: There have been various sync-sound-systems that are format-independent and simply count perforation holes (via signals from the projector/viewer or via a photoelectric sensor, e.g. the Gebuhr-system:

Electronic viewfinder the cheap way
Hi! Attaching an iPhone 7 to a Meopta A8L2 Supra with a cheap Chinese „camera adapter“ (4,99€ including shipping)? Works! Unfortunately, the Meopta‘s viewfinder is "too slippery" and "nearly too tiny". That's because its diameter is close to the lower end of the adapter's capabil...

Diameter of the hole in the middle is approximately 19mm. The outer diameter of the eyecup is 45mm. The eyecup protrudes the camera by 13mm.

Replacement eyecup for the Elmo Super 103T
Hi! My Elmo Super 103T came with the optional eyecup holder. But the rubber eyecup itself was missing. But guess what: the cheap Chinese replacements for the Nikon DK-19 are perfectly fitting onto the holder. And they only cost 3,51€ including shipping! You only have the remove a semi-circle of rubb...

Re: Iscomorphot S8 / 2x
Hi! Theoretically, you could use all anamorphic lenses for both filming and projecting. However, not all anamorphics are equally suited (minimum distance for focusing, bulkiness, weight, form factor, ...). E.g. this Iscomorphot isn’t the best for filming. If you would like to have a 2x anamorphic le...

Re: Super8 sound projector with sound adjustment
You should also check the filmpath - there might some dirt that turned to stone (after reacting with some grease). Or some rubber wheels that became brittle. Or some gears/wheels that would need some fresh oil/grease. You might even find a few frames from a film of the previous owner.
