Terry was there, too -- but we called him "Speedo" back then!  MIT  
was an amazing place back then...  a real hotbed of cinema verite  
filmmaking.  (And the place I was lucky enough to meet my filmmaking  
partner and girlfriend Joel DeMott -- still together 34 years later.   
But I digress.)

Using an old Super8Sound recorder is a very good idea -- it may work  
without modification except for the tape guides.  You could also run  
it on a 16mm dubber if you modified the rollers and made a guide for  
the sprocket to keep the film lined up -- though you'd also need to  
remount the head so it's in the right position.

We could probably run it on a Kinetta Archival Scanner easily enough,  
with a few mods.  I can add 8mm fullcoat to some of the other odd  
formats we scan, like 17.5mm Movette, 22mm EHK, 28mm, etc.
