Houndstooth, you the man!
I had a wonderful 16mm projector on loan to me whle I was in film school. It would shut down immediately if there was a break, and never, ever melted film. But it went back to it's owner, my High School TV teacher, a few years ago. I suspect that it's sitting in his basement. He's a pipe smoker, BTW, and often imbibed during the school day...a rich Latakia mixture, if I remember correctly.
I still have a Moviola bench in the basement, with sound heads and everything...it's kind of romantic, but editing video on the desktop is SO much better.
Same with shooting film. I haven't loaded a roll of film into a camera since 2003, and I'm tickled pink about that.
