@videomanproductions  Thanks!

@meeramy See comment from"Dave" above, for adjusting to 16.66fps

@mickthebl chinon has two speed pots on the circuit board near the front. ( just remove the front cover)1 adjusts the speed from 18fps and the other adjusts the projector speed when set to 24 frames. just use a plastic screwdriver, a steel one will screw up the speed when its touching the dimmer pot as it has a weak meginetic field that interfers when so close to the circuit board, hope that helps

cheers, Dave

@mickthebl

the description tells this:

"Sound has been synchronised later."

Camera: Kodak Instamatic M4, film Kodachrome K40

DIY telecine with a mirror, a large magifiying glass and a Canon DV-camera,

used in the 16:9-mode. Gate of the projector has been wided.

Leader is a screen frame-by-frame record. (original probably. 16mm)

Film leader is frame-by-frame opgenomen vanaf een computerbeeldscherm (vermoedelijk een 16mm leader?)

@ginkelvanmichiel Well done, it's very good, though cannot understand the description.

I'ts allmost a year ago, but, at last I've uploaded a super8 movie through the same sort of telecine. And it works superb :) I will add it as a video-reply. :)

@ynnebbenny . That's how I started, with about 30No. 600ft reels it would have cost a fortune. Though after 6 years, I still have 5 to go, due to also replacing the sound tracks.If you read the comments below you should be able to pick some tips, but if you have any problems, just ask. BEST OF LUCK.

GOLD !!! I am currently going to go down this road. Not for myself, but father in law and his friends. $30 per reel doesnt sound like much. but when you have 50 reels, a DIY telecine is the answer.
