I'm considering picking up the Bell and Howell Sears Dual Super 8MM & 8MM Movie Projector and would love to get some insights from those who have experience with it.

How's the picture quality? I've heard mixed reviews, especially when it comes to the clarity and brightness of the projected image. Is it good enough to really enjoy those classic films?

Also, what about the sound quality? I’m curious if the built-in audio does justice to the original recordings, or if it falls flat.

Lastly, I’d like to know a bit about the system overall. Is it user-friendly for someone who might not be super tech-savvy? And are there any potential downsides I should be aware of before making a purchase?

Thanks in advance for your help!
