Test Your Super 8 Camera!
How do you tell if the film is advancing in double 8 cartridges like you ones you know offer? Everything seems to move in my camera, motor, shutter. The film seems to keep going, I tried to run it out and it never stops. I tested with an old expired cart..
I just recently purchased a GAF Anscomatic ST/89 super 8 camera that takes Type G Ektachrome 160 film. Are there alternatives to that film that are newer and able to be used in cameras that usually use Type G?
Another tip, run the camera for about 4 minutes or so, without film. Most of these cameras have not been used in decades, so one wants all the lubricants in the camera to start working their way around all the needed parts.
