This was really fun to shoot, I hope you enjoy it and thanks for watching!

So glad you took the lens out, Mine would not focus, so I removed the lens only to find it was full of gunk and would not slide. I took mine apart, cleaned it and now it works perfectly. Thank you

Thank you for demonstrating how it works!

very helpful. thank you so much. we found a projector and twenty reels of film at my inlaws house. now we can watch them. thanks!

Gabe, your a gentleman and a scholar....NO DOUBT! No doubt technology has changed.... THIS IS MY GENERATIONS "COOL STUFF"..... Any way ..... you did a fine job...Take Care!!!

Thanks Gabe, great video!

You are a life saver... Perfectly demonstrated... Thank you

Great video! Thanks for demonstrating...My films keeps getting caught on the bottom threading mechanism and don't know the reason. Any ideas as to why?

I have the same projector that was my fathers. I need to pull it out and watch some old family home movies.

I also need the rubber cones that goes on the end of the motor shaft and the two guide shaft rubbers. A idea came to me after looking at my pellet stove and seeing a rubber tube like the kind they use for gas lines on lawn mowers or leaf blowers, etc. I haven't tried it yet but if you found the correct inside diameter gas line tubing I think the outside would conform to the shape of the drive wheels. I'll see what I can find at a auto or hardware store and give it a try. If I have success I'll try to update it here.

Fantastic video! I just picked up mine at Goodwill for $21. The reverse doesn't seem to work and one of the tapes mounts doesn't stay in place and falls off. Other than that it appears to work.

When I project my film it’s only in negative would you know how to make it project in colour ?would I need a filter ?thanks

How did you modify the bulb? I just bought one of these as well and need to find a bulb that fits.

I have both formats of film, & my Grandfather shot, on regular 8 MM Super 8 .

That projector was manufactured around 1973 or 1974.

How can I get a new rubber loading tire? Mine is basically dissolved. If not, how do I load it manually? Help! I have a B&H super 8, model 466A. Thanks!

thank you...there is two projector 8mm & super 8mm...what is the difference please? did the 8mm projector work with super 8mm movies?

+OstazFarid Only if the projector is Dual 8MM. A dedicated Super 8MM (as the one in the video) will NOT play standard 8mm Film. The difference between Super 8 and Standard 8 are the size of the Sprocket Holes on the Film itself. Super 8 has smaller Sprocket Holes, thus allowing a larger Frame on the Film, where as Standard 8 as larger Sprocket Holes making the Frame image smaller.

Not going to lie, that's pretty freakin' cool.

how many minutes did a typical film of this type as shown in your video last for?

hey dude, how big is the image?

good demo..

Thank you Nerd, you helped us a lot!

I have a 1973 Bell and Howell Multi Motion Projector. Like brand new still has the made in canada label tied to it :)

Hi, I’ve just got an 8mm projector as a gift from a friend. It’s a bell & Howell I’ve been watching some movies on sale on eBay, these tapes or reels or whatever are only the image right? How can I add audio to the film? Thanks and great video tho..

Dear Mr. Nerd :) .....You said that you modified a bulb from Home Depot to fit. Please tell me what you did to modify it. I found a source for new original bulbs, but they're $75.00!!!! Thank you!! signed Nerd Wannabe

cool retro oh boy : (

Hold??

WHAT BULB ? HOME DEPOT?

Tape? Notches? 😀

Don't forget to put your feel in a well sealed container and then put it in the freezer, this will stop your films from aging any more. :-)

Area the film is projected from is called the gate, don’t touch the glass bulb of the halogen lamp! Get a clue about what your making a video about, before you make it. It’s called a leader before the content of the film starts. Not a tape, it’s a film. No, gears do NOT pull the film! Sprocket holes are to guide the individual frames properly into the gate! Projector, not a camera.

Duas horas de propaganda nessa merda.

hey dude, how big is the image?
