Kodak Pageant 250S 16mm projector demonstration

Interesting movie! What is it incorporating in its soundtrack Wendy (Walter) Carlos' synthesizer music from the album "The Well-Tempered Synthesizer"?

Very nice

I've got several models of the Pageant. They are run fairly quiet & are very gentle on film. The older vacuum tube models had the takeup reel on the bottom & you had to put the projector on the edge of a table so the bottom reel had room to turn.

I"ve always had Bell & Howell and RCA machines, But I like the Kodak Pageants. I've heard they're fine machines and I've always wanted to run one.

Wow! That brings back memories of school although ours were Bell & Howell units. Kids today don't even know what a film projector is. I was always happy to be the one who got to load the film and work the projector. Great stuff here. Keep posting.

The Kodak type like this were what we used in school...I actually remember being about 7 years old and we went to the mall to sit on Santa claus's lap and he asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I said a Kodak Pageant projector! He had no idea what I was talking about haha!

Any chance that you could still post that threading video? I just got one of these and haven't got a clue how to use it.

Thanks!

nice old projector i cant remember what mine was but its a way older model. it has valves(tubes). an an old 1000watt, from memory old school lamp. very hot it is. the projector runs one 120 volt, i have step down transformer as we have 240 volt here.

the film you show sounds pretty trippy,.

Wow it's nice to see one of these running, I had one when I was 13 but sadly while showing Daniel Boone to my grandparents the sprocket gear stripped out, The first one before the gate. The model I had also done magnetic with the ability to record. Be sure to keep it greased the old grease hardens almost like epoxy & causes the plastic gears to strip. Good projector though & they run pretty quiet.

Thanks for your comments...I'll have to make sure to check out the lubrication on it. I remember it being a pain to take apart though! I had to repair the belt which goes to the supply reel as it had come apart.
