Q: I have just acquired one of these,however very bad picture jitter,but very good in reverse,anybody had this fault?

A: Most projectors have got a "loop former" that fixes any jitter during projection. Cleaning the film-path and checking if the pressure plate at the film gate is in the correct position might help, too. (The pressure plate can most likely be switched between "projecting" and "cleaning/removing a stuck film".)

Q: I have just acquired one of these, the problem is that the user's manual is in German language, someone had the user's manual in English or French or better in Italian?

Q: I have the same problem. A quick guide would be enough for me even if anybody could tell me how to roll the film in... Is it from 'D' through 'E' then 'B', 'D' and finally 'A'. PLEASE, I have no idea and would like to start making use of it. THANK YOU !!

A: An English manual can be downloaded as a PDF here.

Q: What does a good Eumig Mark S 810 D in good condition sell for these days?

A: Go to eBay, search for "Eumig Mark S 810 D" and watch the current auctions. You can also select "completed listings" and "sold listings" to examine recent auctions/buy-it-now-sales.
From the prices on the European eBay in January 2015, I would say something between 50 and 100€ (or 50 to 100US$). (Unless you've got a different lens or unless you're offering a two-years-guarantee like some of the second-hand-shops that sell on eBay).

Possible to manually load film?[edit]

I am trying to watch an old film, in the Eumig Mark S 810D...I was able to auto load one film but I can't seem to load a different one using the autoload feature. Is there a way to load film manually?

Thank you.
