Like many of the dual gauge projectors made by Eumig, this projector has two sets of sprockets and gates. To change formats, all you need to do is swap the gates and sprockets over. If you buy one of these projectors you should always make sure that both sets of gates and sprockets are present. Getting replacements can be quite difficult.
IMPORTANT: Before changing the film gate on one of these projectors, turn the inching knob (small knob at the rear of the projector) until the red dot is at the 12 o’clock position. If you don’t you risk damaging the projector claw.

More information on the Canon EEE is available from the Canon Camera Museum’s EEE page.
The Canon EEE is a fairly common well made Standard 8 camera. Unlike a lot of standard 8 cameras the Canon EEE is battery powered instead of clockwork.
The battery holder for the Canon EEE camera is sometimes missing and isn’t easy to replace. If you are planning to buy one you, it is always best to make sure that it has it’s battery holder.
