16mm Magnetic Sound Projectors

[Jose Cuadros]

Hi,
Please, do you know what 16mm projectors have magnetic sound recording?
Thank you.

Jose.

For starters, The Bell & Howell models 202 and 399 used both optical sound and magnetic sound systems; also the Kodak Pageant 255s used both. These are machines built during the 1950's.

I'm sure there are some others, maybe newer than these.

Bill, I think you are confusing the B&H 399 for the 302. I don't have a 399, but I thought it was optical sound only. I have a 302 and a 202 and both include magnetic record/play. The 8302 is essentially the same machine as the 302 except made in Japan instead of the U.S. These are probably the most common mag R/P projectors in the U.S. Kodak made a Pageant AV-12M6 magnetic R/P that predated the 250 series. There must be many other models.

You're right, Paul, I got the numbers confused. Also, weren't some of the JAN projectors mag as well as optical? Thought I might have seen one, but am not sure.
