I personally did not like working with them. The Bauer and Kinoton 16mm machine were my favorite.

If I remember correctly, the Cinelabor were a similar beast to Fumeo.

I have an Infa-Set brochure somewhere that I can dig out and scan for you Frank. It has some details on the Cinelabor and the Fumeo machines that may be of help. I'm away from my stash of info but I'll be able to look when I get back in a day or two. Stay tuned.

As far as pro 16mm machines go, I agree with Cameron in that the Bauer Selecton II is a nice machine to use - uses an intermittant sprocket whereas the Fumeo and Cinelabor use claws. Haven't had the chance to run a Kinoton yet... but I look forward to the chance.

There were a few around here Frankie, I do remember seeing some. Just got rid of a Kinoton FP18 - beautiful 16mm projector.

Hi Ian: Can you, please, attach the Fumeo and Cinelabor brochures? As for best pedestal projectors, besides Bauer Selection, Philips/Kinoton FP16 and FP18 and Eastman, Hortson machines are very good projectors too. My opinion is that Fumeo is a far better projector than Cinemec (Cinelabor). There are two other italian brands, Prevost and Veronese that make excellent 16mm pedestal projectors.
