Thanks for your reply, I love 35mm projectors especially the old type I got Philips FP3 portable to restore to it's fully functioning condition and the light system need upgrading like you did on one of your projector...I need massive help if someone can strip it for me and I will get the all the parts chromed and body shell sprayed by professional sprayer and rebuild it back.If you fancy the challenge or know someone who is keen please do let me know I am willing to pay

Hi Jagga, Sorry - too many projects of my own to help. I'm long retired from the film business, so I don't know of any current engineers. I do hope you manage to progress with your Philips machine.

Thanks brother from India

Thanks for your comment! Much appreciated.

It's nice to have the warning about nitrate film. I worked with Nitrate stock as a young projectionist back in the late 50s and that warning can't come loud enough. Not only is it volatile when projecting, but also when handling. It will often go up in flames without warning if not treated with respect. It is also a very brittle stock and quite thin, so has a tendency to buckle, making it quite noisy to run. Check the reel for dry joins and remake if necessary, using the correct film cement and jointing procedure. Store the cans in a dry, cool place when not in use. PS I certainly wouldn't project nitrate stock at home with open spools and no escape route. We used to get surprise visits from the local fire chief to ensure our fire buckets were all intact and our spool boxes were kept closed when running nitrate copies (often at Saturday morning minors shows). Thank heaven for safety film the rest of the time. Above the gate we had a small frame of nitrate film held between a sprung switch, so if we had a fire in the gate the frame of film would burn away and the sprung switch would open and shut everything down. Love the video.

Fantastic video. I have a Butcher's Empire Cinematograph so can attest to how tricky it can be, especially when I first got it. It's nice to see another one in action. I don't suppose you have any close-up pictures of yours which I can study and compare to my own? Mine works fine but I think it's missing a few cosmetic parts which would help to make it run smoother and project better. Thank you.

I don't have easy access to the machine to take photos at present, sorry. Try google images search for Butchers Empire Cinematograph, or Butchers 35mm film projector, etc. Or - why not upload a video of your machine to KZread, and then I can comment?

@@horipet Thanks for your reply. Not to worry :) Thank you anyway. I've tried googling but can hardly find any results, and even then mine doesn't match up with the images. E.g. mine has a longer crank handle which is attached to the upper sprocket, there is also an internal rather than external shutter etc.... I am new to uploading to youtube, and would love to upload a video of my own projector at some point. In the meantime, for the sake of interest, on my youtube video of a 1915 film I found there is a link to my imgur page with posts including images of the projector.

WAIT IS THAT A GEORGES MELEIZ FILM

Where is it now?

a beautiful machine.....can you give me some advise please.i have an ernemann 35mm projector from about 1910-1912 and the shutter has got loose on the cam shaft and is moving....the screw holding it to the cam is so so small that im afraid of damaging it if i try to tighten it....also cant find a screwdriver small enough. thank you antony.

Hi Antony, I suggest investing in a set of small screwdrivers. Not too cheap, or they will be soft. Then a drop of oil or WD40 on the screw, leave for an hour. UNSCREW the screw if you can - but no too much pressure. If you can remove it, check that all is well and then screw it back in and tighten until shutter no longer revolves. The screw should locate on a flat part of the shaft. If screw won't shift, I can't really help with further suggestions. (You say that the shutter is on the cam shaft. I'm assuming that it's actually in the shutter shaft.)

How rare a shutter with only one cover per turn.

No very rare. Mostly date from the early period - pre-1910.

Great video. I have a question, what kind of LED light are you using and where could I get one? Thanks

Hi, I build each lamp unit. It's a 50w LED flat chip, available on ebay. You will also need the matching 'driver' (transformer'). Then, a large heat-sink, preferably with a computer fan on the back. In front of the LED chip, a condenser lens might be necessary. So you will need to be able to deal with soldering, etc - and there are some special techniques including adding thermal cream between the chip and the heat sink. If you want more details, let me know here, and I'll add tech and supplier info.

The nitrate film you demonstrated was awesome, the film stock appears to be in near perfect condition, has it been copied to fresh nitrate stock or stored very well? Thank you for demonstrating that amazing projector!

@@tobroken1965 Hi, all nitrate stock dates from 1951 or earlier (with very few exceptions). The film we projected was original, so more than 100 years old. Some nitrate ages well, some doesn't. We don't recommend projection of nitrate stock unless you have been trained in how to do it safely. (I learned in 1970, and was a trainer for projectionists who needed to show old nitrate prints). All nitrate has to be checked foot-by-foot before projection, to ensure that none of it is sticky or damaged. Basically - it's very much a specialist thing, and it's best to keep to safety filmstock. Note: all 16mm, 9.5mm, and 8mm is on safety stock, and films printed on 35mm after 1951.
