Projector reccomendation for 8mm transfer? at DVinfo.net

Yup, its that time of year, when I get slow and jump into areas I eventually wish I hadn't! I have done a lot of reading about transfers of 8mm and super 8mm to digital and will to give it a shot. I am already transferring VHS and all the 8mm cassettes, but have also had a few request for film. I will first try the "record it off the screen" method and am wondering if there are recommendations of a projector to look for on Ebay. I know some of the features I should have are variable speed, auto feed and dual format, and I assume I must get one with sound.

Suggestions?
