I am looking for old standard 8MM movie film cement to repair film
breaks and editing . . . is there something like that around?

There is an online source for Kodak Pro Splicing Cement at 0.5 oz for
$5.99, or one pint for $14.99 (odd pricing!)

Is this the kind of product you're looking for?

Hello.

A store called Chambless Cine Equipment offers a wide selection of 8mm
editing supplies (including various splicing cements and tapes):

Specifically:  

"EKC 1010669 Kodak™ Film Cement for 8/16/35mm Movie Film Splicing 1/2

Another store, Action Camera, lists the Kodak cements as well:

For general information on 8mm film splicing, see:

As indicated on super8filmmaking.com, many editors prefer to use
splicing tape rather than cement. If you should decide to give
splicing tape a try, another site that offers some supplies is
pro8mm.com:

search strategy:
google groups, 8mm, cement, splicing

I hope this helps.

Good starting answer, I'll check further - If I need more help, I'll
ask. I am very pleasedry.
