8mm Film Projector in action

[badboytommy2001]

cool channel

[Pinguin13075]

My granpa has a ELMO K-110 sm with super 8 and normal 8 function.

[TheSuperonestore]

this old shit sucks......the new projector is way better.

[charlemagne762]

Nice Bell & Howell projector, built to last. You need a projector stand so you don't have to tilt the projector so much, makes it harder to acheive all round focus.

Other than that, well done.

[shipwreck911]

my father had that progector but its broken : (

[justinbltn]

Does anyone know if there is a company or device that will transfer digital video into 8,16, or 35 mm film? I have looked all over google and I just keep finding the opposite process. Any ideas?

[ElDuffeSanchez]

@justinbltn

Like you said, there are companies that do the exact opposite of what you're looking for, but you could always ask them if they can transfer the digital material to film. You can also google Telecine. That's the type of machine that digitizes film. Who knows? It may also do the reverse. I've never needed to ask, but it couldn't hurt to give it a try. Hope this helps.

[stephenpadgham]

@justinbltn im currently looking into this process my self just waiting for parts to be made

[ParaglidingManiac]

My 8mm projector finally came!

It looks as if it's been in the attic for at least 10 years.

I have done everything you have shown in the video, but I still have a question please. It the empty reel where the film will be rolling on to - suppose to be spinning hard? I am afraid to apply force, since I o not have an opportunity to turn the proejctor on.

[TheSuperonestore]

@ParaglidingManiac buy a new sony braiva projector and enjoy movies!!

[ParaglidingManiac]

@TheSuperonestore,

Sorry, already fixed it. Most of the parts inside were jamed because of it's age. I've cleaned everything one night and now it works perfectly.

[uncled39]

Very fiddly.

[ParaglidingManiac]

Hi,

Sorry to bother you, but I have a "Cirse Oregon" 8mm Film projector, but I cannot find any info on it. Have ever heard about it? Could you help me please?

[ParaglidingManiac]

What a nice thing. I've ordered mine today.

P.S. can't imagine how loud has the sound to be, so that you could hear it :)

[loverof88]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Your video was so very helpful and saved us a lot of time and trouble. We spent hours just trying to figure out how to thread the film and then found your You Tube. We are still having problems with the film breaking and having to splice it but at least the projector is working so it brought us a long way along in our quest to video the old film that would otherwise be lost. Many thanks...again and again.

[13thChip]

Lol, that car model can be still bought in India as Brand New. The Brand Name is Ambasador made by Hindustan Motors (HM). They still wont change the design of Ambasador cars.

[pteJames]

do you know where to buy 8mm film?

[friken0frank2]

man those were the days.

[bloominpen]

i need help rewinding the film, but on a sears projector....???

[howtodownloadfull]

its complicated

[funkymunky65]

wow, from film to blu-ray, its funny to see how far we have come. My grand father owns a episode of Tom & Jerry (The cat and the mouse, not the really old one from the 20's) i don't know what the name of the episode is.

[the88real]

i just received a Bell & Howell Electric Eye camera from my grandfather, along with the projector and editing equipment could you tell me where i can find any information sights for this or even a manual for it or something. Its all in working order i just want to get it all working again so i can use it.

[CathodeCulture]

perfect. i just picked up a 5250 and this exact projector, mint condition, with no idea how to use them. this is the first video i find. thanks for your time and foresight, sir!

[jnichols3]

I go to estate sales and always buy every old film I can get my hands on. Better then reality TV. If you get a set covering several years, you can actually watch kids from childhood to college. A friend of mine knowing I had an interest in old films gave me a couple of foot wide reels of White Sands Missle Test Range & Rocket Instrument Test 16mm Film from the 1950's. He has never seen them and while I have a 16mm projector it is not big enough for those reels. Acquiring one is next project.

[Ajace1000]

Where do you find a projector like that?

[sanmousa]

hi there,

does 8 mm camera recorders record sound as well, also, does projectors play sound?

i have just received a gift ( 8 mm recorder and a projector ) and i would like to know much about their abilities in sound recording

[hk1308]

@sanmousa The camera and projector that I have don't have any sound recording capability. I think some 8mm films had a magnetic sound track but it's rare.

[NikitaMosko]

@hk1308 Some 8MM films have sound recording abilities. They are light based and you need a special camera.

[DoubleMiz]

@hk1308 - In high school, I did a term paper about the different types of film people use to make movies, and it's true that some Super-8 films do have sound. Regular 8mm film does not (if I remember correctly).

[rockangel1967]

@sanmousa 8mm have no sound. you must record it separately. develop your film, edit it and then you can send the film to a specialised company which adds the magnetic stripe on it. when the film comes back you can record sound to the film with your projector (if he has the record option)

[Videogamehistorian00]

@sanmousa

Sound Super 8 and 8mm films exsist, but the projectors that play sound are much more expensive, it's a magnetic strip on the side. This however is only on store bought home movies and I believe only on Super 8(check if your projector can play both) . As for your camera it will not have any sound recording capabilities, you can still buy film for it but you'll be stuck hand developing or paying for processing which can be pricey.

[jevoiscette]

that dog is dead now

[shazniq]

is good i want to buy it

[ksha]

long process :(

[turfshredder]

woah! thats a 240 volt plug! what country is this in?

[RetroSpectreUK]

Now thats an old sturdy piece of Kit, if only mine was as good as that.

[mariopica]

You Video is not boring. Your video is very interesting. Thank you very much.

When I was young I would love to own a projector but they were very expensive

in Brazil

Best regards from Brazil,

Mário

[bleachtoast1]

that is cool i have a 8mm projector but its an a lot more older than yours but its cool and i have a film of my great gpa with his trained squrills

[tolisdrums]

this is a perfect video to display the contrast of the old and modern video capturing thechnologies...

[comeonlisten]

i like that sound

[593OLYMPUS]

Thanks for the upload. I have three of these Bell and Howell projectors. They are extremely well built machines - very well engineered and easy to use. I can recall in the late 70's and 80's watching home movies with that classic fan motor / ticking sound in the background for hours! You certainly have to be quick if the film jams to stop the machine before the film gets melted through by the lamp!

Enjoy your projector, it is easily one of the best 8mm projectors.

[jamesffxl]

My childhood was recorded on 8mm film.

I was about 10 years old when I first saw a video camera.

[hondaracin338]

u could talk and tell us whats going on u know

[MagrinhaSkinny]

@hondaracin338 He chose not to. Appreciate that he put this video for all us to see it.

If u don't like it, then watch another video!

[TheCharleycat]

nice. dont u just love this kind of equipment hk1308 compared to memory card.

[StarCar98]

I was going to ask about the electrical plug, it looked like a 240 volt plug for a welder or something, but I see this is in England or somewhere there abouts. Nice vid, I like watching old homie movies of people and places. It's kinda like a window into another time.

[jeromebamley]

@StarCar98 -- I know...British plugs are HUGE compared to the plugs used elsewhere in the world.

[crbgamer]

Can you buy film? If so, where

[seivadleoj]

from the shop.

[Aqwert76]

@crbgamer

on ebay! :D

[pfloydphanatic]

looks like the PJ needs oil? i dig film... i want a super 8 camera.

[nexivdr]

i got a Argus Camera Showmaster 750 Projector for sale

[seivadleoj]

*Argos

[matthewm0311]

loud

[loderunner812]

It is sad. Although true. We are living in a digital world. I remember when my father brought home the projector and we watched War of the Worlds.

Classic. Then years went by and it was laser disc and TRON. What a turning point in my life.

[1984THB]

Can you still buy 8mm film? where would I get it from?

[GYOSproduktions]

you suck at setting up a projector.. get a life and philm somethin .

[seivadleoj]

life... life.... lachaim

[easygoinguy08]

I've recently bought this model but I haven't got a manual with it. My main concern is that the belt on the top (feed)spool pulls in the opposite direction to which the spool turns. Do I take the belt off while it's running or just leave it on?

[mrfourtysevenman]

it does that.

it pulls on the film.

[MarioLoco03]

im glad i found this video, my dad gave me this exact projector and i had no idea how to load it

[biografmand]

Soo cute and tiny !

And a blessing, it's manual load.

Many 8mm films have been shortened by autoloads.

Maybe You should consider a new take-up reel, before You junk Your fine old films... ;-)

Thanks for sharing this !

[ElToroCa]

Thanks! I borrowed a Bell and Howell projector from a friend so that I could copy my old movies to DVD but I had no clue how the film was loaded through the projector--until I found your video. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

GM

[mrfourtysevenman]

i'm gonna make a company that produces things to work with your old antiques.

it would be cool.

[kontube]

dude this was fine but you had a typo at the very end. thanks for watching, it should be thwatching not "twhatching"

[tgz1000]

I bought an 8mm projector at a thrift store although I think it could certainly double as a heater in the winter with all the power it consumes

[acsdigital]

hey!!! really thks!!! i never can do it!!

[gslopez30]

DUDE, is it possible to still find a projector like this one? I have an 8mm Nizo, but no projector.

[breen234]

your best bet is almost definately ebay

[123456789g700]

oh, yeah, but they cost about USD 40-50

[Bevoin1970]

Brilliant ! Just been given one of these similar to yours, but lamp is missing and I know nothing about them. I intend to try and fix this, your video was great thanks.

[wilkes85]

Nice projector! too bad it's not an autoload though. I got a B&H 16mm projector (video of it on my channel), and it's got autoload. It's wonderful, all you do is stick the leader in the thing, and it threads the projector by itself! (But you gotta take it off autoload after you thread it LOL, or it won't play properly, I learned that the hard way, after causing some sprocket hole damage LOL)

These B&H projectors are built to withstand a nuclear blast.

[ajb221]

thanks for sharing but i cant help but notice that while the movie was playing the large back reel was jerking

but anyways great bid

[iabhornc]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[91fjon]

I'm so glad that my Bell & Howell 346A projector has the auto load feature. That is just to rought and time comsuming! By the way there should be a nob or leaver to ajust the frame on the projector, the frame was a little off. Nice projector though!

[gemy123]

wow i remember when we used to have these things in elementary i was in grade 1..brings back memories! lol

[sheenahardaker]

Wow thats so cool!! I want one, i love old stuff like that, more complicated thn i thot tho... Cool movie is that ur family?

[hk1308]

It's a movie of my mother and her brothers going off on holiday with my grandparents sometime in the 1960's if i remember correctly.

[eileenluvsdod]

@hk1308 cool setting up the ones my parents have

[Gramophones]

The Take up real doesn't work.

Gramophones 06.06.2008

[extremehockeyfan]

That was really cool! I have an old bell and howell film projector at home!

[bonjoli123]

does the projector also support super 8 aswell as standard?

[hk1308]

The perforations on super 8 are different so I don't think you can use super 8

As for the bulb, I've never actually replaced it so I'm not sure - using a lower wattage bulb might make the picture darker (I don't even know how to get into the bit where the bulb is and I don't want to start unscrewing things because I'll just end up breaking it)

[bonjoli123]

yay! i've got the 625 model. can you use a smaller bulb than 500watts with the projectors?
