Bell & Howell Filmosound Color 16mm Movie Projector

I'm very glad I got to these before they ended up in the bin,

One working projector, one with a stripped worm drive gear. and a whole box of films and spare spools!.

Some stuff from General motors Holden, Trans Australia Airlines (TAA) and vereous movies and test films.

16mm movie projector? what?

[Aussie50]

@yokylie06 yeh, common in schools and small theater rooms. and in this case aircraft for in flight movies or staff training on the ground.

I have a Victor 16mm sound projector with PA which is begging to be restored; I need to go through the amplifier which should sound very nice after restoration (it has two 6v6s in the output stage).

[Aussie50]

yeah, both of these need the worm gears replaced so I'll be doing a bit or restoring myself.

The amps in mine are transistor too, I was hoping for tubes but their newer than I thought.

Grate find. I would like to see the Sud movie.

I'll try and find a way to record them in close with my sisters HD camera and upload them. the RAAF videos are good, showing old footage of the Saber Jets in 1961.

Did they make any 35mm sound projectors?

I have a SINGER one like this that's really made by Bell & Howell! It missing only a little part to go on: a spring for the spool driver... and some films!

[Aussie50]

the Rolf Harris case had a different smaller spool in it called Bing Crosbey.

they will be fun, its a 100% teardown job to replace the worm gears too!.

[Aussie50]

yeah, they both suffer from the dreaded worm gear failure, 2 replacement parts will fix both and I think sombody still makes them!.

[pixuma]

thats so cool!!!
