yeap. I've tried with Super 8 projectors (Elmo's, Eumig's, and a bunch more) and they do convert without need of an external converter. but 16mm is another deal. a couple of seconds of run without it and its over. best,p.

(Pretty sure 60 is on the left if you're looking into the projector.) Keep in mind you'll also need a serious voltage converter unless you want to fry the circuitry. They're made to run 24 fps in either system, but they're not made to handle 220V of juice. (My GS-1200 (s8 projector) does seem to be made to handle either current though with just the turn of a screw. Never put it to the test though.) There are apparently models with a "voltage selector" just next to the High/Low lamp switch though (near the lamp itself). I haven't seen these, but according to this manual, they do exist: http://www.k3camera.com/pdfs/eiki/2008-eiki-slot-load-projector-3580-3575.pdf Good luck!

Thanks!
