Rank Elektra 8mm Editor
« on: Tuesday 10 November 20 09:58 GMT (UK) »
I have just brought this one out of retirement from the back of the cupboard, but find that the bulb is missing. I have no documentation..it was purchased the best part of some time ago..early 1960s.
Can anyone please hepl in identifying which bulb I need to get this going again and relive some old memories....for example my wedding day and some shots of the former Somerset and Dorset railway.

Why not have the slides digitised? You can then relive you memories as often as you like on a computer.  I had all ours done, it was not overly expensive and saves on the storage space needed for slides.

The same can be done for 8mm cine, if needed but no idea of cost.
