Applications
The DeJur Amsco 750-B was designed for projecting standard 8mm home movie film — the format that dominated amateur filmmaking from the late 1930s through the mid-1960s, before Super 8 largely replaced it in 1965. De Jur-Amsco was a well-known American maker of consumer and semi-professional 8mm and 16mm projectors and cameras, and the 750-B "Custom 8mm" was one of their higher-end home projector models. Units like this are typically sought today by collectors of vintage film equipment, hobbyists who still screen original 8mm home movie reels, and technicians who repair or restore mid-century projectors for resale. The Quik Splice splicer included with this unit is a handy accessory for repairing broken or damaged film splices before projection. A replacement rubber fan belt, if sourced, would restore the cooling function — this type of belt is a common maintenance item for projectors of this era.
This DeJur Amsco 750-B Custom 8mm Film Projector is being sold AS-IS for parts or repair. The cooling fan rubber drive belt is worn from age and no longer functions. The projection bulb (Westinghouse DDS-1f3, 750W) has been tested and is good. There may be additional issues beyond the fan belt that are not known to us. The projector cosmetically appears to be in good shape with no obvious major damage visible in the photos. Included with the unit is the original aluminum carry case and a Quik Splice 8mm film splicer. This item is not guaranteed functional and is sold strictly as-is. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
