This was wonderful, I've never seen one of these before. My grandma had an old cinematograph when I was a kid. It only had 1 reel cartoon of betty boop with it. She only let us watch it once because she didn't want it to get ruined, so it was stored away in a safe. years later, her house flooded and it got ruined but she donated it to a museum along with the reel. This really brings back those great memories. Thanks!

Thanks for this input. It‘s a reminder that we should enjoy and let others enjoy the things we own as long as we can, and not keep them away in storage for somebody else, or for it to be destroyed like in this case. I hope to never fall into that mentality your grandmother had. Would rather want everyone to create memories to keep for the rest of their lives.

I'm from a country where it's currently impossible to order on eBay! Although I am interested in antique photographic equipment, and I really like many cameras that are not in Russia, but are in Europe or America, but, unfortunately, there is no way to buy them!

That was wonderful, what a great result! I found it somewhat emotionally moving. I guess it's because of what that projector did in its 'first lifetime', entertaining countless children (and adults). Thanks for bringing it back to life.

That cowboy cat is too adorable! Finding the original logo image and making a sticker was the cherry on top. I would be so interested in restoration channels making videos about what led them to restoration- because I look at these videos and think, not only do these people have thousands of dollars in machinery to do these restorations, but also know how to use them very well. You guys get into everything from a bit of carpentry, a bit of electric work, mechanical work for sure, and even some graphic design. I assume that takes many years to learn and probably a kind and patient mentor? One of the things that worries me in recent years is the loss of knowledge of good craftsmanship for future generations. Making online courses for all the different knowledge you guys have I think would be of interest to many. I also wonder if you sell what you restore afterward. Must be hard to sell something you worked so diligently on, even though I’m sure the money is good.

RESTORATION??? Give your head a shake.. This was a destruction of an antique.. You dont restore antiques by putting a 20th century paint job on them.. You leave the age, and the patina, and repair or replace the broken pieces.. They used Lacquer paint, not a hydrostatic plastic that is melted on. This is frigging disgusting

The people who were born from the mid 1960s, entire 70s, to the mid 80s, don't even much of this. Of what really existed. Ah yes this was, right long before our time, since we now live in a different era.
