Feltmans was the world's largest and busiest restaurant serving over 5 million customers a year and over 40,000 a day. It boasted a merry-go-round, roller coaster, orchestras, dancing and an outdoor cinema to compliment its seven distinct dining areas, bars and gardens.

    I got a CHINON 7800H (for £89 including the postage) it came today and it works like a dream. it was well cared for by someone like us. I have BATTLESTAR GALACTICA `1978 X 2 PARTS and SUPERMAN THE MOVIE 1978. I am bidding on THE SNOWMAN (1984) and I have a 16mm BELL N HPOWELL FILM O SOUND with a lovely feature film called MELODY 1971 and the youth of today in our family love it

      Yes, a solidly made projector with a quality lens. If it's still working well then it's even better.

    I'm looking for a projector recommendation. I need a projector with a great lens that produces a sharp image from corner to corner and is gentle on the film. I've tested four super 8 projectors, including the Kodak M80 with three different lenses, Kodak Moviedeck 457, Eumig Mark S 802, and Canon S-2. Among them, I found that the Kodak 457 is the most gentle to films, but the Moviedeck's and M80's lenses are very soft. The Canon's lens is sharp, but the hot bulb makes it risky to watch movies on it. Eumig was nice, but it wasn't as gentle to my films, and the lens has a very shallow depth of field. I don't need sound in the projector but don't mind if it's there. Thank you for all suggestions!

    • @davidkilderry1828
      @davidkilderry1828 Рік тому

      I'd be looking at one of the better Elmo sound projectors. One of the ST range, 800 or 1200 or even an SC18. They have good standard lenses but you can buy option Schneider lenses for them that really are top of the range. Good luck!

    I still have my Sankyo Stereo - 800 Super 8mm sound movie porjector. The reason why I brought this was because you could record sound on the second track of the super 8 sound film somost of my home movies had music add to them.

      Sounds like you have Regular or Standard 8mm film instead of Super 8. Best to unroll a few feet and check if it is Super 8 or Regular 8.

    • @davidkilderry1828
      @davidkilderry1828 5 років тому

      No. It will blow the power supply in most cases. Best bet it to change your lens to one that allows more light through like 1.2 or 1.1 or buy a projector that has a brighter bulb.

    thank you David ,did you know that the Westrex in car speakers had a mute system at the speaker post so that when you hung up the speaker the sound was muted thus saving you running around turning down the speaker pots or volume controls,and also the signal strength was about 1 third of a watt at each in car speaker

    Whilst the in-car drive-in speaker as we know it today did not start selling in big numbers until 1946 because of WW2; it was actually developed by RCA in 1941.
