That young lad certainly knows how to work his new RCA 16mm Sound Projector :) I have the same machine, the "Junior" model and it's really a humdinger!

The musical score does indeed kick an unprecedented amount of ass. ;-)

Great old ed film!! I like the TJB/Baja Marimba Band style version of Hurray For Hollywood. I agree, most of today's youth wouldn't load a 16mm film projector or maybe even not a VHS player. They'd prefer to go to some site like N etfli x and just download a movie. Me? I'm caught in the middle: I was an AV geek in middle school, have a 16mm cinema/archive, and yet hear I am looking at videos on YouTube site...that's as hi-tech as I get.

Very Nostalgic and Entertaining! No offense to today's youth, but I doubt that they would have the patience to set up a projector and thread a film. They are too used to cramming a disc into a player..
