Elmo HiVision SC-30 Super 8 2 Track Sound Projector


This is a really wonderful and very rare Super 8 Sound Projector that is being sold on behalf of my partner's father, who has kept it boxed up and looked after it incredibly well.


It's in Excellent Used Condition + Fully Working.


We recently serviced it and replaced a new inner rubber motor ring.


I've uploaded a short video on here which shows it in working order. The footage is show on the side screen but can send further footage showing it being projected onto a screen if necessary - but it works like a dream.





This is a very rare model, manufactured in Japan, and plays both 2 track magnetic and optical sound track super 8 film.


Films can be viewed via the built in screen or projected traditionally onto an external screen.


Comes with the wired remote control/mic.


We don't have the manual but this can be purchased online.


?300 but open to reasonable offers - message for further details.


Collection in Person ( SE26 - Dulwich, Forest Hill, Sydenham)


Please feel free to message with any questions / further photos.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
