Bolex 18-5 Automatic
One of the most often found 8mm projector brands in Austria is Eumig, of course, it's made in Austria so presumably the price was right and for people with some respect for their country, it would be a natural choice, same as buying Philips equipment in the Netherlands. However, the second most often found projector brands is Bolex, perhaps because of the good reputation in the camera area? Because the price was right? Because of the good reputation of Swiss mechanics? My reason for buying this projector was because it got this typical late 1950s look about it, this streamlined look, put some wings on it and it could easily be mistaken for a smaller 1950s Cadillac.
